How do I find out if my company will match a gift to Penn?

Your donation to Penn may multiply in value with a gift match. Many employers will match charitable contributions made by an employee, or an employee’s spouse or partner. Consult your employer’s HR office to find out your company’s matching gifts policy and obtain forms. Penn’s matching gifts database contains data on many companies that match gifts. You can also call the Matching Gifts Program at (215) 898-5069 or e-mail devgifts@dev.upenn.edu for information on matching gifts eligibility and procedures.

Visit this page for details on Matching Gifts: http://www.matchinggifts.com/uofpa/. If your company only uses paper matching gift forms, please complete the form and send it with your donation check to:

Matching Gifts Program 433 Franklin Building 3451 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104-6285

Please note: some matching gift companies only match quarterly. Many of these funds will come in after the ride is completed.

How many Giving Pages can I make?

Cyclists are free to create as many Giving Pages as desired. For example, a team captain might want to make a Giving Page for his entire team, as well as an individual Giving Page for a specific group of donors to access.

If I have an existing Penn Giving Page from last year’s MDBR, do I still have to create a new one?
