Workplace & Corporate Giving

United Way/Funds 
Employees at certain companies and organizations can donate to charities of their choice, including GSWPA, through their local United Way’s Annual Giving Campaign.

Matching Gifts
Many employers will match the charitable contributions of its employees, retirees and sometimes even spouses, so your gift to GSWPA could go even further. See a list of businesses and corporations that currently participate or check with your HR representative for more information. Is your company not on the list? Contact Fund Development at donate@gswpa.org to find out how your company can participate in matching gifts.

Any business that pays Pennsylvania taxes is qualified and the process is simple.
