Would you like to do more for equality? If your employer has a matching gift program you can. Companies like Microsoft, JPMorganChase, American Express and hundreds of others nationwide will match their employees' charitable contributions dollar-for-dollar, making your donation work twice as hard.

To find out if your employer has a matching gift program, check with your human resources department or benefits coordinator, or contact Matthew Rojas at Lambda Legal at 212-809-8585, ext. 334, or mrojas@lambdalegal.org. If you're eligible, simply request a matching gift form from your employer and send it in with your next contribution to Lambda Legal. Many employers also offer a workplace giving program. If so, you can fight for equality every payday by contributing to Lambda Legal through convenient automatic payroll deductions. Whether you make regular contributions through your paycheck or send in corporate matching gift form with your donation, these are just two simple ways you can maximize your support for Lambda Legal.

Law Firm Sponsors: Can Your Firm Help Us Make the Case for Equality?

Among Lambda Legal's most important corporate sponsors are the hundreds of law firms throughout the nation that support our work. From single attorney practices to some of the nation's largest law firms, Lambda Legal's colleagues in the legal community provide tremendous financial and volunteer support for our groundbreaking civil rights litigation.

While many law firms already give time and resources to Lambda Legal, we are always looking for new friends in the legal community to join our fight.Last year, contributions from law firms totaled only 8 percent of our annual budget. Your law firm can make a difference by:

  • Sponsoring a local Lambda Legal event.
  • Becoming a major corporate donor as a National Sponsor of Lambda Legal (15 of our National Sponsors are law firms).
  • Providing pro bono support on Lambda Legal cases.
  • Becoming part of our cooperating attorney network.
To learn how your law firm can help Lambda Legal make the case for equality and the benefits that come with sponsorship, contact Mark Zumwalt at 212-809-8585, ext. 268, or mzumwalt@lambdalegal.org.
