Maximize your support by directing a matching gift through your/your spouse’s or partner’s company. You will receive recognition for the combined amount of your personal gift plus the matching gift. Many companies offer corporate gift matching for retirees, allowing them to double or even triple their charitable donations to eligible nonprofits, but eligibility and specifics vary by company, so retirees must check their specific employer’s policy.

Check with your employer about whether the company participates in such a program.

Support Play On Philly with a gift of appreciated securities and you may be able to receive an immediate tax deduction and savings on capital gains taxes.

A gift of stock is especially advantageous if the stock has been held long term (at least one year and one day). Then the fair market value (based on the mean price on the date of the gift) is tax deductible, and the capital gain is not taxed.
