    Matching Gift Acknowledgement

    Hello Everyone!

     I just have a quick question: I have a check that was given through an employee contribution program. It shows what the employee gave and and what the company matched. Do I thank each constituent for the portion that they gave or just the MG company for the entire amount since they issued the check?

    Thanks!

    We hard credit and issue receipt to donor/account check is drawn on.  We soft credit employee and send thank you to both.  Lately, it seems there has been more documentation with employee matches as to who to receipt.

    Every organization is different.  I have worked at orgs where we thanked both the MG company and the donor when the check came in and another org where we didn't thank either when the check came in but thanked the donor for submitting the MG form with their donation.

    We thank the donor with a standard acknowledgment letter thanking them for their work in submitting/filling out the forms; and then we send a tax letter/thank you to the company.
