Workplace Giving
Many workplaces offer employees charitable giving opportunities. Some employers even have programs that match employee contributions.
Matching Gift Search
Just as an acorn can grow into a mighty oak tree, a single donated dollar can grow to become two dollars, or maybe more. The first step is using a resource offered by COTA that can help your contribution grow.
How to Find Companies That Have Matching Gift Programs
Many employers match charitable contributions made by their employees (and sometimes by retirees and spouses of employees). If your company has a matching gift program, the impact of your gift may be doubled or tripled!

You may be able to access the matching gift form directly through the search or you may need to get a form from your employer. Follow the directions on the form.
If you have questions about the process, the Children’s Organ Transplant Association will be happy to assist you.
United Way
The Children’s Organ Transplant Association may be allowed to participate in your area United Way campaign. During campaign season (usually early fall), please consider designating the Children’s Organ Transplant Association as your ‘charity of choice’ on your pledge form. Check with your local United Way about their policy. You will need to specify COTA – Children’s Organ Transplant Association, EIN 35-1674365.
Unfortunately, most United Ways do not allow designations to a specific COTA campaign or family.

“At a time when we felt hopeless, COTA empowered our family and friends. So many people wanted to help: COTA turned that desire to help into a fundraising effort that generated much-need financial assistance … and a sense of hope.”
