Gifts
Double your impact through employer matching gifts
Many employers will match charitable donations made by their employees - allowing your generosity to go twice as far while increasing your annual giving toward The Ensemble donor benefits.
Your gift could go twice as far
Every year, thousands of companies match charitable contributions made by their employees. If your employer participates, a single gift can make twice the impact for Hennepin Arts, supporting:
Historic theatre preservation
Arts education
And unforgettable live performances in the heart of Downton Minneapolis
Even better, employer matching gifts count toward your annual giving total, which may increase your donor recognition and unlock additional benefits through The Ensemble, Hennepin Arts’ premier donor benefits program.
Example of an annual contribution: $500 donated by you plus a $500 match from your employer doubles your generosityfor Hennepin Arts while qualifying you for benefits at the Ensemble Circle ($1,000) donor level.
Double your impact Your employer's matching gift allows your donation to accomplish even more - bringing people together through performances, preserving our historic theatres, and expanding access to the arts across Minnesota.
Increase your donor benefits Employer matching gifts count toward your annual giving total. That means your company match could help elevate your giving into the next level of The Ensemble donor benefits.
