Check If Your Gift Can Be Matched
Many employers offer matching gift programs that amplify their employees’ charitable contributions. You may be able to increase the impact of your gift to YSN at no extra cost to you.
To find out if your company (or your spouse’s) participates, check with your HR department or use our matching gift lookup tool. If eligible, simply request a matching gift form from your employer, complete it, and send it to Yale along with your donation. We’ll take it from there.
Your generosity could go even further. Matched gifts can double or even triple your support for YSN.
“I have given regularly to YSN because the school helped me establish a 40-year midwifery career that I loved. There was still federal money for nursing student loans at a low interest rate when I was in graduate school. The students today don’t have access to that kind of financial support, and most graduates leave YSN with debt. I was in the 2nd class of what is now called the GEPN program; Yale was one of the pioneers in transitional career education and for that reason also deserves to be supported.”
