Workplace Giving

Make Music While You Work

When you sign up for workplace giving or take advantage of your employer’s matching gift program, you help bring music to the the lives of children all throughout Colorado.

Double or Triple Your Donation with a Matching Gift

One of the easiest and most convenient ways to bring music to kids is through your company’s matching gift program. Many employers sponsor matching gift programs that will match or even triple charitable contributions made by employees and sometimes even those made by spouses and retirees. That means you can double your support – and your impact to provide shelter and care for animals – at no additional cost.

Whenever you make a contribution to Inside the Orchestra, just ask for a matching gift form from your company’s human resources office, fill out your portion, and then send it to us. We’ll do the rest.

Payroll Contributions Add Up

Workplace giving – donating a percentage or fixed amount to eligible charities through your employer each payday – makes supporting Inside the Orchestra easy for you and helps provide a reliable source of support for our bringing music education to the schools and children with the highest need. By opting to make regular contributions through your employer, you give a little bit at a time while contributing in a big way to keeping our programs going strong – all without ever having to write a check or provide a credit card number. Some companies even match workplace gifts, enabling every donation to have an even greater impact.

Participation is as simple and efficient as making a payroll pledge during your employer’s annual donation campaign.
