Most Lutherans are familiar with Thrivent gift matching and use it often. However, many of them are not aware that their employer may also match gifts. Many corporations match as much as 100% of charitable contributions which their employees make to educational institutions. Also, some organizations will match contributions made by their board members to educational institutions.

We have provided a list of companies who match gifts in our area, but other companies may also match, so we encourage you to check with your employer when you give a gift to the students of our high schools.
