The Home Depot Foundation is pleased to offer an improved Matching Gift
Program for Home Depot associates. This program allows associates to tap into
Foundation resources in order to match their individual gifts to the charities
that reflect their personal interests.
The Foundation will match individual associate gifts ranging from $25 to $1000
per charity, per calendar year on dollar-for-dollar basis for part-time and
full-time associates. There is a $3,000 cap per associate each calendar year.
The organization to which the gift is being made must be a U.S. 501(c)(3) or
Revenue Canada designated charity.
Gifts may be registered for a match using either of the following methods:
Associates can also track the status of their donations using either of the
methods listed above.
All gifts will be confirmed prior to matching. Matching gift checks will be
distributed to eligible organizations on a quarterly basis (January, April,
July, October). We are unable to make exceptions to this check disbursement
schedule.
Gifts must be registered for a match by January 31 of the year following the
year in which the gift was made. For example, gifts made in April and December
of 2004 must be registered by January 31, 2005 in order to be eligible for a
match.
Matching Gifts may be used to match contributions to an organization for which
an associate is participating in an event (such as a run, walk or ride).
However, Foundation matching funds may not be used to satisfy pledges or to
match pooled or raised dollars.
