Doing Twice the Good! A note from the Office of Mission Advancement

Doing twice the good!

Many of our benefactors and parishioners, make gifts at the end of the year. But often times they don’t take advantage of a wonderful way to double their giving. Businesses and corporations throughout the region often offer to match employees charitable gifts up to 1:1 and higher. If you are planning to make a gift to the Bishop’s Appeal, FACE, LCA or other charities of your choosing, take a moment and see if your employer will double your gifts!

Recent matches have come from PG&E, Chevron, Microsoft, Union Pacific Fund for Effective Government, Cardinal Health, General Atomics, Qualcomm, Sempra Global, United Way, Sanafi and REI.

Simply contact the personnel office at your company for information regarding qualifying not-for-profit agencies and the appropriate form(s). Complete the donor portion, and then forward the form and information regarding matches with your response/pledge card to:
