to it. Taking a big picture approach will help you

Will Your Employer Match Your
Charitable Contribution to NPF?
Participating in a matching gift program makes
your donation go farther. Many companies

charities by matching their contributions, in some
cases dollar-for-dollar or more. Check with your
company's human resources department to find
out about its matching gift policy.
