Corporate Matching Gift
Many corporations have matching gift programs and will match your donation to an accredited charitable organization. It's an easy way to double the impact of your personal contribution.
Employee matching gifts (also known as matching funds) are grants a corporation makes to match its employees’ charitable contributions. Employee matching gifts often are dollar-for-dollar, but some companies will give double or even triple the original donation. Although the procedures may vary from company to company, usually the person giving will submit forms to their employer. Check with your Human Resources Department today to find out if your company will match your gift.
Pollinator Partnership is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization designated by the Internal Revenue Code, #94-3283967.

Cryptocurrency
Donating crypto is one of the most tax-efficient ways for individuals to support causes that matter to them. Cryptocurrency donations are treated as property, per guidance from the IRS. By making a charitable gift, you may also be eligible to significantly reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes.
As with any tax-related questions, be sure to consult with a qualified, professional tax advisor.
