Matching Donations: An Easy Way to Increase Your Impact
If you are like me, you search for ways to make your dollar stretch. Sales, specials, discounts are part of my everyday language! You shop around for the best deals. So, be sure to look for the best deal when you donate to the Institute for Nursing. I know that any donation you give is significant, no matter the amount. In many cases you can easily request to double that amount by simply inquiring about a matching gift program. Matching donations are offered by many employers to give back to the communities they serve. Most offer an equal matching gift while some even give enough to triple your donation. By supporting the Institute for Nursing, you are supporting a cause that is equally important to the healthcare system where you work, resulting in a win-win! An equal matching donation program is like a 50% off sale! You give 50% and your employer gives 50% of the total gift and nursing benefits. Thank you for inquiring about a matching gift whenever you donate to IFN!
Thank you, Donors!
We recognize our donors for their amazing dedication to the Institute for Nursing and in some cases honor the person they designate for recognition.
