Matching Gifts
When you make a gift to USF Law that is matched by your employer, it doubles the impact of your gift. Three simple steps help ensure your donation qualifies for a match:
First, make sure your employer offers matching gifts and be aware of any restrictions by checking with your employer's Human Resources staff.
Second, if your employer requires a written form, complete it and send it with your gift to:
Development and External Relations

Lastly, make sure the amount and designation of your gift qualify for matching. We are happy to answer your questions. Please call our office at (415) 422-5457.
