Feature image for The Power of Matching Gifts
Alumni know their gifts to Montclair State University have a powerful impact on the student experience. Many companies support a matching gifts program, allowing alumni to increase the impact of their giving. Matching gift programs are provided by companies in support of the philanthropic causes of their employees. Through these programs, companies match employee donations that are made to eligible organizations.

“Matching gifts have an enormous impact on Montclair State,” says Kara Baldwin Brennan ’92, Director of Annual Giving. “They instantly increase their gift and allow the gift to do so much more.”

These programs are a great way for companies to support higher education and a chance for graduates to double or even triple a gift to Montclair State. This past fiscal year, Montclair State was proud to receive 118 gifts that were matched by companies including The Coca-Cola Company, PSE&G, L’Oreal, Macy’s & Bloomingdales, Goldman Sachs, and more. Visit our website to find out if your employer has a matching gift policy.

If your employer uses a matching gift form, please mail it directly to:

Montclair State University Foundation
1 Normal Avenue
Montclair, NJ 07043
