Gift Matching Can Double Your Donation

In the last fiscal year many donors have arranged for matching gifts to the El Segundo Educational Foundation through their company matching gift programs. With a matching gift, the Foundation receives additional dollars to support El Segundo public schools. The El Segundo Educational Foundation credits the initiating donor with the personal and matching gift, providing increased visibility and benefits associated with a higher level of giving.

Please inquire at your workplace today to apply for matching gift funds. Most companies only require you to submit a short form. It is a simple, effective way to double or even triple your contribution to the El Segundo Educational Foundation.
