Double or triple the impact of your contributions to the Oregon Zoo Foundation through gift matching! Many employers have matching gift programs for current employees, and some companies will match gifts from spouses, retirees and surviving spouses of retirees. 

We work with some of the best employers in the Pacific Northwest, including NikeIntelThe Standard and PGE

If your employer matches gifts, your donations to the Oregon Zoo Foundation can be doubled or even tripled. Maximize your qualifying gift in a few simple steps:

1. Check the eligibility of your donation

2. Review matching gift instructions

Select your company from the search results to find instructions for your employer's matching gift program.

3. Submit your match request 

Follow your company-specific instructions to complete your matching gift request.
