Matching Gifts

Did you know that your employer may match what you give to The Voice of the Martyrs to support persecuted Christians? Many businesses — large and small — have matching gift programs to encourage their employees to support charity efforts. The Voice of the Martyrs receives more than $100,000 each year through matching gift programs, including gifts from dozens of companies ranging from 3M to Wells Fargo.

Even if you are retired, you may still be eligible to participate through your former employer’s matching gift program.

As a 501(c)(3) organization, The Voice of the Martyrs qualifies for many matching gift programs. Here’s how you can find out if your organization participates:

1. Check with your Human Resources department to see if your company has a matching gift program. If VOM is not on their approved list, have HR reach out to us to assist with their approval process.
2. Provide your company with a copy of the VOM tax identification number and IRS determination letter.

3. Fill out your company’s matching gift form and send it along with your donation to:

   The Voice of the Martyrs
   Attn: Matching Gifts
   1815 SE Bison Rd.
   Bartlesville, OK 74006
   

We will complete the form and return it to your employer in order to receive the matching portion of your gift. In most cases, we are able to verify that a company’s donation is a direct result of a particular individual’s donation. If possible, we send acknowledgment letters stating we have received your matched gift. Keep in mind that some companies make distributions quarterly or annually, so it may take some time for the donation to be matched and received and for your acknowledgment letter to be delivered.

If you have further questions about this program, feel free to call 888-843-1056 or contact us.
