Providing Relief in Times of Disaster - Matching Gifts

Public foundations, community foundations and corporate giving programs may establish a matching gifts program that will match disaster relief gifts made by employees or other donors living in the U.S. or anywhere in the world, provided the grantees are public charities based in the U.S., and gifts are not made from a donor-advised fund.

Matching gifts from donor-advised funds or private foundations can be done, but grantmakers will have to comply with the rules applicable to these giving vehicles.
