What types of donations are eligible for matching gifts?

Eligible donations vary by employer, but most matching gift programs will match personal contributions made by employees to registered charitable organizations. Each company sets its own rules regarding minimum and maximum gift amounts, eligible organizations, and employee eligibility. We recommend using the search tool to review your employer’s specific guidelines.

What if I can’t find my company in the search tool?

Not all employers that offer matching gift programs appear in the search results. We encourage you to contact your Human Resources department, Corporate Social Responsibility team, or company leadership to ask whether matching gifts are available for donations to Plan International Canada.

I already donated. Can I still request a matching gift?

Yes. Many employers allow employees to submit matching gift requests after making a donation. Submission deadlines vary by company and may range from a few months to a year or more after the original gift date. Check your employer’s matching gift policy to confirm the deadline.

Do I need to make my donation before applying for a matching gift?

Yes. A matching gift is usually requested after you make your charitable donation. Once your donation is completed, you can submit a matching gift request through your employer’s program, and the company will review and process the match according to its policy.

Will I receive a tax receipt for my donation?

Plan International Canada issues tax receipts for eligible donations of $25 or more. If your employer makes a matching gift of $25 or more, they will also receive a tax receipt for the matched donation amount.
