Many companies set aside philanthropic dollars and allocate those funds through matching gift programs. These programs allow employees (and oftentimes retirees, spouses and directors) of the company to make a contribution to a non-profit organization which is then matched by a corporate gift. Matching levels vary from one company to another, but regardless of the match percentage, these gifts represent a significant source of funds for Eagle Ranch.
Until recently, Eagle Ranch did not qualify for matching gift dollars from some corporations. Now, because we have a SACS (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) accredited school, we are better positioned to receive matching grants if the gifts are given directly to the Eagle Ranch school.
Although procedures for matching gift programs vary, matching gift forms are usually obtained through the employer's human resource office. The employee sends the signed form with a check made payable to Eagle Ranch. The rest is handled by Eagle Ranch and the employer.
There are more than 20,000 matching gift companies nationwide. Please enter your employer name below to see if your gift would qualify.
We continually update a list of specific needs and projects that require funding above and beyond our operational budget. Call the Ranch office at 770-967-8500 to request a copy of our Ranch needs list.

We are grateful to the many people who, through their support, allow us to impact the lives of our children and their families. Eagle Ranch relies almost solely on gifts and volunteer support from private sources in order to provide for our children and meet monthly operational costs.
