Does your employer participate in workplace giving programs? Many companies make it easy for their employees to increase the impact of their personal support to MHC:

Corporate matching gifts: Many companies provide matching gift programs, doubling or tripling an employee’s contribution to a charitable organization. Check with your company’s human resources department to find out its matching gift policy. Many employers will provide a form for you to fill out and send to us along with your donation. We will verify your gift and return the form to your company, which then issues a matching gift contribution to MHC.
