Matching Gifts: Businesses may match personal contributions to increase and often double the gift size. Check with your employer to see if they are a matching gift company.

Pledges: Gifts can be pledged and paid over a designated period of time. The Foundation Office will send reminders at appropriate intervals. Acknowledgements and receipts are sent when pledge payments are received. Pledges may not be claimed as tax deductions until they become gifts.
