Summary

After you make an eligible donation, you must submit a matching gift request through your employer’s matching gift or workplace giving program to have your gift matched.

IMPORTANT: Blood Cancer United cannot submit matching gift requests on behalf of donors.
All matching gift requests must be initiated and completed through your employer.

Before you start

• You must have already made a match‑eligible individual donation
• Your employer must offer a matching gift program

How to submit a matching gift request

1. Make your donation

   • Complete your donation to Blood Cancer United using any standard donation method.

2. Access your employer’s matching gift program

   • Log in to your employer’s matching gift portal or workplace giving system.
   • If you're not sure where to find it, use the  employer matching gift search tool to locate program details and submission instructions.
   • These programs are managed by your employer or a third-party provider, not by Blood Cancer United.

3. Search for Blood Cancer United

   • If the organization does not appear, search using our Employer Identification Number (EIN): 13‑5644916.

4. Submit the matching gift request

   • Complete all required fields in your employer’s system.
   • Some employers may request donation details or confirmation.

5. Employer review and processing

   • Your employer reviews the request and sends the matching gift according to their program rules.

What to expect after you submit

• Processing times vary by employer
• Matching gifts are applied after the donor submits the match and Blood Cancer United is notified
  • In some cases, your employer's system notifies us automatically. 
  • In others, additional confirmation may be required.
• To help us apply matching gift credit more quickly, you may let us know once you’ve submitted your matching gift request by completing our workplace giving request form.
  • This form helps us confirm submission when employer notifications are delayed.
• Matching gift credit may not appear immediately
  • When the form is submitted, donors typically receive a response within 48 hours
  • Crediting timelines may be longer when no notification is received
