Employee Matching Gifts

Corning amplifies employee giving by matching donations to eligible nonprofit organizations.

The Employee Matching Gifts program, which began in 1958, allows Corning U.S. employees to amplify their contributions to nonprofits that are important to them.

 

Program highlights

  • Active part-time and full-time U.S. Corning employees who have been employed for at least 30 days and Corning Board of Directors members are eligible to participate in the matching gifts program.
  • In 2024, Corning Incorporated will contribute $0.50  for every $1 gift made by eligible Corning employees and directors of at least $10 made to eligible nonprofit organizations, up to $7,500 per employee each calendar year.
  • The nonprofit organization maximum is $25,000 per calendar year.
  • The minimum donation amount to be matched is $10.00.
  • Donations should be submitted for a matching gift in the calendar year in which the donation occurred. No submissions will be accepted for gifts made after December 31 (i.e.,2023 donations can be submitted for matching from 1/1/2023-1/31/2024)
