Employer Matching Gifts

A great way to increase your support for Film Forum and upgrade your membership level.

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match their employees’ charitable contributions — sometimes double or even triple the original gift size. Film Forum memberships count as charitable gifts. Your company’s match may even increase your member benefits.

Three easy steps will maximize your contribution:
1. Please inquire with your employer if your company matches donations.
2. Obtain a Matching Gift form from your human resources department.
3. Send the completed form, along with your gift, to:
      Film Forum, Inc.
      Attn: Matching Gifts
      209 West Houston St
      New York, NY 10014
