CORPORATE FOUNDATION GRANTS

Some companies create charitable foundations to manage their annual donations to charitable causes. The Raptor Center has forged long-term relationships with corporate foundations in order to partner with them to help them meet their goals for the Charlotte region. Priorities such as education, research, the environment, children, access, and volunteerism drive corporations to give to the Raptor Center to support our service to this community.

MATCHING GIFTS

Matching gifts represent about $20,000 in the Raptor Center’s annual giving total. Many employers will match their employee’s financial contributions and/or volunteer efforts to help the Raptor Center. To find out if your employer matches charitable contributions or to pick up a matching gift form, please speak to a Human Resources representative at your company.
