Corporate Matches

There are so many generous businesses that match their employee’s donations to causes such as Sisters; some of them will even match their employee’s volunteer hours with a donation.  If you wonder if your employer will match your donation, ask them today.  Sometimes they will require Sisters to complete and return a simple form to them; we are happy to do so.  Just mail the form and your donation to 133 NW Sixth Ave., Portland, OR 97209, or fax them to (503) 222-3028.  If you are a business owner and would like to match your employee’s donations to Sisters and need some documentation, please all (503) 222-5694 ext. 12.
