Will your company match your gift to Baylor?

It’s not only Baylor alumni, parents and friends of the university who support Baylor financially; many businesses also are willing to match their employers’ gifts to colleges and universities. In so doing, your gift can double, triple or even quadruple, turning a $100 gift into $200-$400, or a $1,000 gift into as much as $4,000!

ExxonMobil is one of the most generous of these companies; thanks to a 3-to-1 matching program, the company has given almost $3 million to Baylor over the last six years. Their most recent gift of $372,630 was recently presented to Baylor and represented their matching gifts for all of 2010. Among the more than 900 institutions that received funds from ExxonMobil, Baylor ranked No. 8. Thank you to all the Bears at ExxonMobil and to the ExxonMobil Foundation for its gifts to support our students!

And that’s just one example of the more than 7,500 companies that offer matching gifts to their employees. Is your company one of them? (Click here to find out.) If so, even a small gift made by you could become a much larger benefit to Baylor students!

Sic ’em, ExxonMobil and Baylor supporters everywhere!
