You need to make a personal tax-deductible donation (of a minimum of $50) to an eligible organization. We will match a maximum of $2,500 per employee per calendar year. Gifts may be made in cash, check, credit card or by negotiable securities that have a publicly listed market value. Only the tax-deductible portion of your donation will be matched. Please see the “Program Guidelines” tab for more information.

Gifts must be registered via the Internet or by paper form.
1. Internet Registration
Send your donation to the organization of your choice. Access and submit a request through this website. The PNC Foundation Matching Gift Program Administration will validate your eligibility. You must send Registration form to the organization so they will be able to verify your contribution. Please see #2 below.
2. Form to Send to Organization
All organizations must be registered so they may confirm your donation. Once you submit your request, you will receive a special form that you will need to send to the organization. The form contains your name and details about that specific match. If you have misplaced your form, you may always go back into the database and click on the request and reprint it. Please either send this form in an email to the organization or mail it to them.
When you click “Submit a New Request,” you will be asked to search for an organization in the program database. If the organization cannot be found, you will be given the opportunity to nominate a new organization by hitting the submit button. You must at least provide the name, city and zip code available when entering in a new organization. The program administrator will then make a determination as to whether the organization is eligible for the program.

It is anticipated that checks will be presented directly to nonprofits and payments will be made on a monthly basis. However, the program administration reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify the timing of payments, as it deems appropriate. Gift requests are considered “approved” as of the date that all information required for the gift is complete and the gift has been approved for payment by the program administrator, at which point it is anticipated that the non-profit would then receive the payment within a month

You will be able to view your giving history to see that the gift has been paid. You will also receive an email confirmation when your gift has been paid. If there is an issue with the gift or it has been rejected, you will be notified via email.

A 501(c)(3) is a section of the Federal Tax Code that establishes the criteria for tax-exempt charitable organizations. An organization must have this status in order to receive matching gift funds. This status allows donations to be tax-deductible. IRS law requires that we also verify public charity status.
