Matching Gifts:
Many employers (and former employers, for retirees) match the charitable gifts of their employees. If you are a donor to BSM, ask your human resources department if your employer matches charitable gifts. If it does match gifts, please obtain, complete and submit a matching gift form (or fill one out online, if that option is offered) in order to multiply the value of your gift! To see if your company matches gifts, refer to our Matching Gift Companies list. If you have questions about matching gifts, please contact your human resources department or BSM’s Development Office at 952-915-4341 or development@BSMschool.org.
