At Great Lakes Science Center we make science, technology, engineering, and math come alive! Home of the NASA Glenn Visitor Center, the Cleveland Clinic DOME Theater and the Steamship William G. Mather, we bring a world of exploration and experimentation to 300,000 visitors each year and inspire young minds by providing critical STEM education. Matching gifts help support our ability to offer quality programs including school field trips, camps, family workshops, hands-on demonstrations, and more.
In addition to matching gifts, if you volunteer with us, your employer may also provide us with a grant as a way to recognize your ongoing support.
Thank you for checking to see if your company offers these programs! If your company does offer matching gifts (or volunteer grants), just following the instructions to fill out the necessary form. Thank you!
Employee matching gift programs are corporate giving programs in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations. It's an easy way to double your contribution to us!
Requesting a matching gift is normally a five-minute process that must be initiated by the donor. You can do this through an electronic submission process or by filling out and submitting a paper match form provided by your employer. Please search our database above for company-specific information.
Many companies offer Volunteer Grants (often called "Dollars for Doers"). If you volunteer a certain number of hours with us, your employer may provide us with a financial grant in recognition of your time. Some companies also offer Volunteer Time Off (VTO), allowing you to volunteer during work hours without using your personal PTO. Search for your employer above to see if these programs are available to you.
We partner with a company called Double the Donation. If you see anything that should be changed, please email Double the Donation's team at data@doublethedonation.com.
For questions regarding your company's programs, please contact your employer's HR or community giving department. Much of the necessary information is also available on your company intranet.
