What is a matching donation?

Bright Funds makes it easy to double your impact with company matching gifts!

If your company offers matching as part of their program on Bright Funds, hen the matching meter on your personal Dashboard will show your annual matching limit. Until you hit that amount for the year, any donations you make on Bright Funds will automatically generate a matching gift.*

You will be able to see a new matching gift created on your Dashboard with each donation you make. You can visit your My Donations page to check on the status of your matching gift at any time.

*Note: Your company may have a minimum amount eligible for matching. The minimum is noted on the Bright Funds checkout page for your convenience. Make sure you know your company's minimum to ensure your donations are matched. Feel free to reach out to our Support Team if you are not sure!

Can I request a match for a donation I made before I joined my company?

Generally, only donations you have made at the time you are employed with your company are eligible for matching. However, this is at the discretion of your company and their guidelines.

Can I claim my matching donation for my taxes?

Any funds paid for by your company are generally not tax-deductible by you, the individual donor. This includes matching donations, volunteer match and credit donations. In any case, please consult with your tax advisor.
