Maximize Your Impact with Employer Matching Gifts!
Did you know you can double or even triple your support for Clackamas Women’s Services through your company’s matching gift program? Many companies offer matching gift programs that will match your personal donation, sometimes up to 2x or 3x the amount you give!
By taking advantage of this incredible opportunity, your contribution to CWS goes further, helping to provide critical services to survivors of domestic and sexual violence—whether it’s emergency shelter and housing, mental health support, violence prevention education for youth, and more!

What are employee matching gift programs?
Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations. It’s an easy way to double your contribution to us!
How do I submit a matching gift?
- Donate to a nonprofit.
- Log into your company’s matching gift submission website (if you use the Double the Donation search tool, you will receive a follow-up email linking to this page).
- Once logged in, search for the nonprofit that you donated to.
- Select the appropriate nonprofit from the search results. If it is not found, manually enter the organization’s details.
- Register the donation.
- Submit the completed matching gift request to your employer.
Are matching gifts and volunteer grants tax-deductible?
While your donation to a 501(c)3 organization is tax-deductible, your matching gift is not tax-deductible. Only your contributions are eligible for tax deduction. Each party involved (yourself and your employer) can only take deductions for contributions they directly made to the nonprofit.
Clackamas Women’s Services’ EIN/tax id number is 93-0900119.
How is this information obtained?
We partner with a company called Double the Donation. If you see anything that should be changed, please email Double the Donation’s team at data@doublethedonation.com.
What if I submit my matching gift or volunteer grant outside of the nonprofit’s online donation form or dedicated matching gifts page?
If you submit your matching gift or volunteer grant outside of the nonprofit’s online donation form or dedicated matching gifts page, contact the nonprofit directly to notify them of the request, so they may track the matching funds as needed.
What if I forget to submit my matching gift request?
If you forget to submit your matching gift after selecting your company at the time of donation, you will receive a series of auto-generated emails prompting you to submit your match. The majority of companies offer an all-electronic matching gift submission process.
What if I still have questions?
For questions regarding your company’s programs, please contact your employer’s HR or community giving department. Much of the necessary information is also available on your company intranet.
