Corporate Matches

There are so many generous businesses that match their employee’s donations; some will even match retired employee’s donations, or match employee’s volunteer hours with a donation. Usually it is as simple as sending Sisters a form to complete along with your gift. Just mail it to 133 NW Sixth Ave., Portland, OR 97209, or fax forms to (503) 222-3028.

If you wonder if your employer will match your donation, ask them today! If you are a business owner who would like to match your employee’s donations and you need some documentation, please call (503) 222-5694 ext. 12.
