COMPANY MATCHING GIFTS
What are employee matching gift programs?
Employee matching gift programs are giving programs in which an employer matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations. It's an easy way to double your contribution!
Some employee matching programs operate through a third-party processor like Benevity. Depending on your company, donating to BlackFemaleProject through Benevity may allow you to make a pre-tax contribution and provide you a tax incentive.
How do I request a matching gift?
Requesting a matching gift is normally a five-minute process. Ask your employer about a paper match form that you can fill out and submit.
BlackFemaleProject is already registered with Benevity. If your company offers Benevity as their corporate match processor, look us up in their system using our EIN: 83-1316290. Though we do business as BlackFemaleProject, we show up as Black Female Project Inc in many databases.
Gifts made through this system take approximately one month to show up for the nonprofit, but count towards the tax year in which they originated.
What if I still have questions?
For questions regarding your company's programs, contact your employer's HR or community giving department.

TAX INCENTIVES
Charitable contributions to registered non-profit organizations like BlackFemaleProject are a win-win. Not only does the organization benefit, but taxpayers enjoy tax savings by deducting part or all of their contributions on their tax returns.
For the 2023 tax year, taxpayers can deduct charitable contributions if they itemize their tax deductions using Schedule A of Form 1040. According to the IRS Publication 526, Charitable Contributions (Page 14), charitable contribution deductions for cash contributions to public charities and operating foundations are limited to up to 60% of a taxpayer's adjusted gross income (AGI).
