How You Can Help

Matching Gifts

Maximize Your Gift Through Matching Funds

What is a matching gift?

Matching Gift programs allow you to allocate your company’s charitable dollars to the cause nearest and dearest to your heart. Matching gifts are donations made by employees and/or spouses to M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. The donor’s employer may pay the same amount or more to M. D. Anderson for their employee. Some companies will double or even triple the match amount.

In January 2006, The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center gained its accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and is now a degree-granting institution listed in the Higher Education Coordinating Board’s Higher Education Directory.

If your company’s name is not listed, please contact your Human Resources Department or go to your company’s website for matching gift information. You may also call the M. D.
