When you give a memorial or tribute gift for the Parkinson’s Foundation to honor someone special, you’re expressing your love, admiration, and gratitude in one of the most meaningful ways there is. Your gift will honor your loved one, create a lasting tribute, and help make expert care accessible for everyone in the Parkinson’s community.

What can qualify for an employer matching gift?

Each company has its own guidelines. Typically, the following donations may be matched by an employer:

• Gifts made by employees of the company
• Gifts from the spouses of company employees
• Gifts made by retirees of the company

If you request a grant from your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) to a nonprofit, your company may match the grant as well.

If you volunteer with us, your company may also offer a volunteer grant.

What’s Next?

Once you have requested your employer’s matching gift form using the search tool on this page, you can submit your form to your company electronically or print the form, fill it out and send it to us at matchinggifts@parkinson.org for processing.

You can also mail documentation to us at:

If you cannot find your company through our search tool it is still possible that your employer will match your donation. Check with your company’s HR manager and ask if your donation can be matched.

Send our matching gift team an email that you plan on getting your donation matched. Once the gift is confirmed, your employer will send the matching funds based on their disbursement schedule.
