Matching Gifts

Your gift to Mercy Home can be doubled or even tripled! Thousands of companies nationwide offer programs that match or exceed charitable donations made by their employees.

Matching a gift is easy—and makes an incredible impact on the lives of Mercy Home’s boys and girls.

To have your gift matched by your company:

  1. Find out if your employer offers a matching gift program by contacting your company’s Human Resources department. A growing list of companies that match gifts to Mercy Home may be found here.
  2. If your employer matches employee contributions, request a matching gift form, fill it out and mail it to: 
        Mercy Home for Boys and Girls
        Attn: Erin Ash
        1140 W. Jackson Blvd.
        Chicago, IL 60607
  3. We will complete our portion of the matching gift form once we receive your donation, and return it to your employer. The matching funds will then be sent directly to us.

Many companies also match volunteer hours or gifts from spouses, retirees, and board members.  There are many opportunities to maximize your impact on the lives of children living at Mercy Home.

For more information about matching gifts, please contact your Human Resources department or eriash [at] mercyhome [dot] org (email Erin Ash) at Mercy Home.
