# Can my employer give a matching gift?

Many donors work for companies that match their charitable contributions dollar-for-dollar. Modern Day Missions (MDM) participates in employer matching gift programs, which are most commonly administered through third-party platforms such as Benevity and CyberGrants.

To use employer matching, donors follow two steps:

1. **Give to MDM first.** Donors can give on their own or through a missionary's profile page.
2. **Submit a matching gift request.** The donor separately submits a matching gift request to their employer, naming Modern Day Missions as the recipient organization.

Once the donor submits a request, the employer's third-party administrator sends MDM a confirmation request. MDM verifies that the original gift was received before the match is released. If MDM does not respond, the administrator will send automatic reminders until the request is confirmed.

Matching gifts are typically applied to MDM's general fund rather than to a specific missionary, unless the employer's platform includes a designation field. **To ensure the matching gift is applied to the correct missionary, donors should email [support@modernday.org](mailto:support@modernday.org) with the following information:**

- **The original gift amount and date**
- **The employer matching amount**
- **The missionary designation**
