Workplace/Matching Gifts - Increase Your Boy Scout Support Many corporations match gifts made by their employees to the Boy Scouts. Some companies even give financial contributions on behalf of the time you give as a volunteer. Click here to view some companies who have historically matched their employee's generosity. If you do not see your employer here, please don't assume they do not participate in the matching gifts program; check with your human resources department for more information. Please contact Jenna Knight at jenna.knight@scouting.org, if you're aware of another matching gift company. (Please Note: You must initiate the matching gifts process with your company.)
