Matching Gifts
Thanks to a number of civic-minded corporations, many of our donors are able to have their contributions matched, which often doubles their philanthropy. In addition, some corporations go as far as matching volunteer hours to Hope Ministries. This can amount to thousands of dollars every year to support our Table of Grace meals program, shelter and support services to the homeless in central Iowa.
Thank you for checking with your employer to see if your contributions to Hope Ministries can be matched. Here is a list of companies who have matched contributions to Hope Ministries.
