It might not cost you a cent to double your contribution to one of our programs. Most companies will not match gifts to a church or religious organization but will match gifts to schools and community service agencies. Since we direct proceeds from the Annual Appeal to elementary and secondary schools as well as community service agencies of Catholic Charities and the St. Vincent de Paul Society, we should be able to qualify your contribution as eligible for your company's matching gift program. Listed below is a sample of over 1,000 companies that have matching gift programs. If you have a question concerning Matching Gifts please email or phone Sheila Canelos at 410-547-5412.
