Workplace Giving
Workplace Giving is one of the easiest ways to give to the American Kidney Fund. You make one decision each year—how much you want to give. Then your employer handles all the paperwork through payroll deduction. Your gift is spread out in smaller, manageable amounts throughout the year.
Just a few dollars per pay period from your paycheck can add up to significant help for a kidney patient . . . and you benefit from a charitable tax deduction at the end of the year.
Whether you are a federal or state employee, a member of the military, or work for a private company, you have many options for participating in Workplace Giving.

Corporate Matching Gifts - Double the impact of your dollar . . . at no cost to you!
Countless companies match their employees' gifts dollar for dollar—leveraging the impact of their gifts significantly. Some companies even match up to five times the contribution amount! Many corporations also match volunteer hours and gifts made by retirees, spouses and Board members.
Contact the human resources department where you work to request that your gift be matched. If your employer doesn't have a matching gift program, ask them to set one up! Companies are happy to support their employees' charitable interests.
