Many corporations match the donations made to non-profits by their employees, enhancing the power and reach of these gifts. To see if your company participates in a matching gift program, visit www.matchinggifts.com/centralparknyc or ask your company's human resources department. If they do, simply submit the form they give you to the Conservancy along with your contribution and the Conservancy will do the rest.
