  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

 

For more information or assistance, email our membership department or call 212-627-2035, Monday through Friday, 10 AM to 5 PM.
