Matching gifts can double or triple your contribution to Minnesota Opera.
Many companies and foundations in the United States will match gifts their employees make to non-profit organizations such as Minnesota Opera. This means your support can become twice, and in some cases three times, the amount you donated.
The companies and foundations listed may match your contribution to Minnesota Opera. Ask your personnel office for the appropriate form when making your contribution. If your employer is not listed here, ask your personnel office if a matching gift program exists. Keep in mind that retired employees often are eligible for matching gifts, too.
Minnesota Opera wishes to thank these corporations and foundations for their generosity through matching gift programs. We are grateful to those individuals who already obtain matching gift support from their employers.
