Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer, and send it completed and signed with your gift to:

North Country Food Bank, Inc.
1011 11th Ave NE
East Grand Forks, MN 56721

We will take care of everything else! The effect of your gift could be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses. If your company does not currently match employee contributions, you might consider discussing this matter with your human resources department. It may be helpful to let them know about the issues you support, and you can ask if they would consider changing their matching gift policy.

If you would like to contact us with any questions or concerns about matching gifts, please send an email with your name and contact information to  Scott Johnson at scott@northcountryfoodbank.org.

North Country is always grateful to be the recipient of employee giving or workplace campaigns! If you’re organizing a workplace giving campaign at your company, consider these strategies for success:

1. Set a goal with your employees. Establish a dollar goal. How much was raised last year? Try to increase this amount by 10 to 15 percent. You may also consider setting a participation rate—for instance, striving to have 60 percent of employees participating. You’ll find greater success if the employees are engaged in establishing these goals.
2. If your company matches employee gifts don’t forget to tell your team. If your company does not regularly match gifts, consider setting a one-time amount for a specific time period. For example, for every $1 given to North Country Food Bank the company will match up to $25,000. Be sure to announce that employee gifts will be doubled. This can really help boost participation!
3. Establish a campaign committee with staff from each department represented. The staff should be non-management staff and have a wide appeal to peers. This takes the appearance of management pressure out of the process. This committee can help put a tremendous amount of energy into your campaign.
4. Have employees who have participated give testimonials. It is better coming from someone considered a peer.
5. Stress how easy it is to give via payroll deduction.
6. Establish rewards for participation rates such as a pizza parties, extra days off, or something of value to your employees.

If you have additional questions or want to hear more examples of how to make your campaign a success, please contact Scott Johnson at scott@northcountryfoodbank.org
