DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT WITH EMPLOYER MATCHING!

This year, we’re spotlighting a powerful way to increase your charitable impact: Employer Matching Gifts.

Thanks to our new partnership with Double the Donation, congregants can easily discover whether their employer matches donations—sometimes doubling or even tripling the value of a single gift.

One of our longtime members, Hannah Wecker, knows firsthand how meaningful this can be.

For over thirty years, Hannah and Michael have called Temple Emanuel their spiritual home. And for over two decades, she has amplified her support through her employer’s matching program. Read Hannah’s story here.

Matching gifts are a powerful way to make your generosity go even further.
