Make it a Double! Ask your Employer to match Your Gift

Many companies match employee gifts up to a certain limit per year. To find out if your company is among those participating in a gift-matching program, consult the online database of matching companies (also found within our online donation form.) You can also ask your human resources department for information about your company's gift-matching policy.

Or you can download the donation form, complete and mail to Stanford Lively Arts at: 425 Santa Teresa Street, MC 2250, Stanford, CA 94305-2250
