Imagine making one donation and instantly doubling or even tripling its impact without spending a single extra dollar.
Sounds too good to be true? It’s not. Thousands of companies across Canada and beyond offer employer matching gift programs that match the charitable donations their employees make. These programs allow your generosity to go further, funding more programs, more research, and more support for Canadians living with or at risk of lung disease.
At the Lung Health Foundation, we’re committed to making every breath count. And now, thanks to our new partnership with Double the Donation, it’s easier than ever for you to see if your employer will match your gift and to submit the necessary forms in just a few clicks.
How It Works
Whether you’re a new donor or a longtime supporter, accessing a matching gift is simple:
- If you’re making a new donation online:
When you donate through our website, simply search for your employer during checkout. If your company participates in a matching gift program, you’ll see everything you need right there including forms, guidelines, and instructions to complete the match request. - If you’ve already donated:
You can still double your impact! Visit our Matching Gift Page to search for your employer. Once you find your company, we’ll provide you with the forms and steps you need to get started.
The process is quick, easy, and completely free for you as a donor. Your company handles the matching donation. You simply unlock the opportunity.
Why It Matters
Every matched donation helps us:
- Diversify our revenue sources so we can fund more programs and research without relying solely on traditional fundraising.
- Strengthen relationships with donors like you by making giving more impactful.
- Create stewardship opportunities that may even lead to new corporate partnerships, amplifying your gift’s effect far beyond its original value.
When your gift is matched, it allows us to fund more life-changing programs like My Lung Health Coach, which helps people with COPD manage their health, and support bold initiatives like our youth vaping prevention programs. It helps us invest in cutting-edge research, drive national conversations about lung health, and expand education for healthcare professionals.
