Double your donation and amplify your impact

US-based Steelcase employees, retirees, and directors who make gifts to qualified nonprofit organizations may have their contributions of up to $10,000 matched each calendar year. It’s a great way to double your donation and amplify your impact on worthy nonprofits

  Matching Gifts  

The Steelcase Foundation will match the gifts of US-based Steelcase employees, retirees, and board members up to $10,000 annually to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits that meets the following criterion:

1. Compliance With Non-Discriminatory Practices: Grantee organization must refrain from discriminating against a person or group due to their race, religion, color, national origin, age, sex, gender identity, disability, status as a disabled veteran, political preference, sexual orientation, pregnancy, membership or non-membership in any lawful organization, or other protected group as prohibited by local laws or regulations.

2. Compliance of Non-Religious Program Support: Match funds will be used to support only those programs that: (a) are open to all individuals in the community regardless of religious belief; (b) serve a non-religious purpose, such as a food pantry or a homeless shelter; and (c) do not require individuals to join in worship to receive services.

3. Compliance of Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Laws: I certify that: (a) neither myself nor any other party will receive goods, services, or impermissible benefits ( e.g., tuition, memberships, dues, admission to events or anything of more than incidental benefit) as a result of the match; (b) the above donation and match does not satisfy any portion of a financial obligation (including an enforceable pledge) ; (c) the donation and match will not be used for political contributions, campaign activities, or to influence legislation.

Participants can make gifts directly to nonprofits or log offline gifts via the Steelcase Changemaker Hub.

  Steelcase Foundation Matching Gifts Program FAQ  

The Steelcase Foundation Matching Gifts Program provides a 1:1 match for gifts up to $10,000 annually to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations that meet the Foundation’s Matching Gift Compliance Affirmations as stated above.

Eligible participants include US-based Steelcase employees, retirees, and directors. 

The Steelcase Foundation Matching Gifts Program is administered by The American Online Giving Foundation, a US-based nonprofit that connects the generosity of donors to charities around the world by securely and efficiently delivering donations to nonprofit organizations. As such, your tax receipt will acknowledge a gift to The American Online Giving Foundation on behalf of your intended charity. 

  • Organizations or donations that do not meet the Matching Gift Compliance Affirmations.
  • Gifts that are for the private benefit of an individual (any benefit received will be deducted from match amount).
  • Money collected from a group or third party (alumni associations, walk-a-thons, etc.).
  • Beginning in 2025, gifts to private K-12 schools will no longer be eligible for match to better align with the Steelcase Foundation’s mission of supporting quality public education.

Requests submitted via the Steelcase Changemaker Hub will be processed monthly.

To better align with the Steelcase Foundation’s mission of supporting quality public education, beginning in 2025, we will no longer match gifts to private K-12 schools. Participants have until December 31, 2024 to submit gifts for match.

With the shift to the Steelcase Changemaker Hub participants are now required to submit gifts online via the portal. For assistance submitting gifts online, please contact the Steelcase Social Innovation team at impact@steelcase.com.
