Matching Gifts
Matching Gifts
A matching gift program is a great way to double—or even triple—the impact of a contribution to Luther. Many companies will match employee gifts to higher education; some also match contributions of employee spouses and retirees.
The guidelines of matching gift programs vary with each company. Visit the human resources office of your company to determine if it has a matching-gift program. If it does, pick up a matching-gift form and fill out your portion. Then send it with your gift to the Luther Development Office, and Luther will submit your form to your company.

Visit Thrivent's matching gift website www.thrivent.com/fraternal/churchcommunity/givingplus.html for updated details on how to match your gift to Luther College.
