The Foundation will strictly adhere to the matching gift guidelines of each employer and to the policies that each company has established for its employees. When there is an ambiguity in the program concerning any specific gift, Gift Accounting will consult directly with the company for a correct interpretation of its policy, and will abide by the interpretation provided by the company.
By virtue of the completion of the matching gift request and submission of this request to the company, the Foundation is confirming that the donation received from the employer will be committed to the educational, research, or community service mission of the Foundation. Where an individual makes payment for the services of the institution (for example, tuition and fees, tickets to sporting events, etc.) or where such services and benefits are provided to the donor or family members in exchange for the gift, UGA will not submit a matching gift form for that gift.
