Matching Donations

Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations.  It's an easy way to double your contribution to us!

Volunteer grant programs are corporate giving programs in which companies provide monetary donations to organizations where employees volunteer regularly. If you volunteer with us, it's an easy way to provide us with additional financial support!

Activities eligible for volunteer grants may include:

1. Event Volunteering

2. Skill-based Volunteering

3. Volunteer Committees

4. Administrative Volunteering

We partner with a company called Double the Donation. If you see anything that should be changed, please email Double the Donation's team at data@doublethedonation.com

Requesting a matching gift or volunteer grant is normally a five-minute process that must be initiated by the donor/volunteer. You can do this by filling out and submitting a paper match form provided by your employer or through an electronic submission process.  Please search our database for company-specific information.

1. Donate to Philadelphia Dance Theatre.

2. Log into your company's matching gift submission website (if you use the Double the Donation search tool, you will receive a follow-up email linking to this page).

3. Once logged in, search for the nonprofit that you donated to.

4. Select Philadelphia Dance Theatre from the search results. If it is not found, manually enter the organization's details.

5. Register the donation.

6. Submit the completed matching gift request to your employer.

If you submit your matching gift or volunteer grant outside of Philadelphia Dance Theatre’s online donation form or dedicated matching gifts page, contact info@philadancetheatre.org directly to notify us of the request, so we may track the matching funds as needed.

If you forget to submit your matching gift after selecting your company at the time of donation, you will receive a series of auto-generated emails prompting you to submit your match. The majority of companies offer an all-electronic matching gift submission process.

While your donation to a 501(c)3 organization is tax-deductible, your matching gift is not tax-deductible. Only your contributions are eligible for tax deduction. Each party involved (yourself and your employer) can only take deductions for contributions they directly made to PDT.
