Double Your Impact: Match Your Gift or Volunteer Hours

Did you know you can double your support for Braille Institute if your employer participates in our Matching Gift program?

Many corporations match employee donations, including gifts from retirees and employees’ spouses. If you volunteer with us, your employer may also provide us with a grant to recognize your ongoing service.

If your employer appears in the search below, you will have access to the forms, guidelines, and instructions needed to request a match for your gift or volunteer hours! Alternatively, you can also contact your human resources department directly for instructions. If your company does not appear in the search, please ask your human resources department to consider joining the program.

The central piece is prominently visible, while the surrounding eight are partially visible. The Center piece includes a brown-orange background, with the text “Braille Institute” written in purple paint. There is a garden gnome wearing a red hat, dark pants, red shirt, brown sandals and black sunglasses, holding a yellow sign that reads, “Let The Gnome Roam.” The collection also includes pieces featuring open-eyes crafted from blue, white, and black clay; a vivid red rose painted with watercolors; while other pieces incorporate glass tiles of different shapes including round, square, triangle, and heart-shaped in shades of blues, whites, and browns.
