Corporate Matching Gifts

Many companies offer employee matching gift programs that, in effect, double (or in some cases even triple) cash contributions to non-profits. Generous employees of Verizon, ExxonMobil, Boeing, Pfizer, Macy’s, IBM, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AT&T, McGraw Hill, Wachovia, the May Companies, Bank of America, Caterpillar, the Washington Post, and other companies have all helped sustain Signature’s artistic and community programming by filling out a simple form.

Check with your Human Resources office, office administrator, or company web site to find out if your company participates in such a program. We encourage you to notify Signature of your matching gift request so that we may properly credit you for the gift and assist in the gift tracking process. Matching gift notification and matching gift forms can be sent to: Signature Theatre, Attn: Development Department, 4200 Campbell Avenue, Arlington, VA 22206; or you may FAX your paperwork to 703 845 0263, Attn: Development. If you have other questions about matching gifts and Signature Theatre, we’re happy to help — simply contact Associate Director of Development Erin Harms at 571 527 1827 or harmse@signature-theatre.org.
