Many companies offer matching gift programs as a way to encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations. Most of these programs match contributions dollar for dollar, and some may even contribute more! Some companies will make charitable contributions to organizations you support with your volunteer time, as well.

This is a great way to double, or sometimes even triple, the impact of your giving.

How to Get Your Gift Matched
Every company has their own form and process. Use our online search feature or contact your human resources department to see if your company matches charitable gifts. Don't forget to check with your spouse's company, as well. Fill out the required paperwork and mail it to us. We'll do the rest.

Shriners Hospitals for Children is a one-of-a-kind health care system dedicated to improving the lives of children by providing pediatric specialty care, innovative research and outstanding teaching programs. Every year, the 22 hospitals provide care for thousands of kids with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate, in a family-centered environment at no charge. It's how Shriners Hospitals has been helping kids defy the odds since 1922.

Treatment
Nineteen Shriners Hospitals provide care for congenital and acquired orthopaedic conditions, four hospitals provide acute and rehabilitative care for burn injures, three hospitals provide rehabilitative care for children with spinal cord injuries, and the cleft lip and palate program is expanding to multiple Shriners Hospitals. Some Shriners Hospitals offer care in more than one care specialty.

Orthopaedic Care
Shriners Hospitals for Children has been a leader in pediatric orthopaedic care since 1922. The hospitals specializing in orthopaedics are dedicated to providing medical and rehabilitative services to children with congenital deformities, problems resulting from orthopaedic injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Burn Care
The Shriners Hospitals specializing in burns have been leaders in burn care and research since opening in the mid-1960s. Treatment is provided for burn injuries and related scarring, along with physical and emotional rehabilitation.

Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation
In the early 1980s, Shriners Hospitals for Children opened the nation's first spinal cord injury rehabilitation centers specifically designed for kids. There, patients find a complete range of services needed in order to recover to the fullest extent possible.

Cleft Lip and Palate Care
Cleft lip and palate was added to the health care system's treatment disciplines in 2005. Services available at Shriners Hospitals fill the need for coordinated, comprehensive multidisciplinary care for children with this condition.

Research
Shriners Hospitals for Children is dedicated to conducting innovative research to provide answers to complex medical difficulties affecting children. Shriners Hospitals' contributions to the medical community not only benefit our patients, but contribute to the overall body of medical knowledge for the care and treatment for a wide range of pediatric and adult conditions worldwide.
