Matching Gifts
Wouldn't it be nice if your employer donated to Northwest? Every year, more than 1,000 companies nationwide match their employees' gifts to higher education. Some companies even match gifts on a greater than 1-to-1 basis. Even gifts to Northwest from persons other than employees of a company are eligible for corporate matches, including:
- non-employee directors of a company
- retired employees
- spouses
- spouses of retired employees, and
- widows or widowers of retired employees
To find out if you or your spouse's employer will match your gift, talk with your human resources office or click here.
If the company matches, here's the game plan:
- Obtain a matching gift form from the human resources office
- Fill it out completely
- Send the matching gift form along with your donation to:
Office of University Advancement
Northwest Missouri State University
800 University Drive
Maryville, MO 64468
Your portion of the gift is 100 percent tax deductible as allowed by law, and your employer will also receive a tax deduction for its portion of the gift. For more information on matching gifts, please contact Peggy Purdy at (660) 562-1248 or ppurdy@nwmissouri.edu.
