More than 1,000 corporations, foundations
and other organizations will match their employees’ charitable contributions
either dollar-for-dollar, or at a ratio of 2-to-1, 3-to-1, or even 4-to-1.
In order to process a matching gift, you must obtain a form from your employer and submit it for processing to Smith College, Advancement Services, 33 Elm Street, Northampton, MA 01063.
If you notify Smith that there is a matching component to your gift, the college can follow up once you have initiated the process.
