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
