MATCHING GIFTS Did you know that your donation to Aquinas can have an even greater impact? Many companies offer matching gift programs that will match your donation, doubling or even tripling the amount you give. It's a simple way to make your contribution go further and support the education of our current students. So, if you're considering making a donation to Aquinas, be sure to check if your employer offers a matching gift program. It is important to note that just because your employer offers this program, your donation won't automatically be matched. To ensure that your contribution is matched, be sure to fill out the matching gift form that's available at your HR office or look online to find the specific process for your employer. If you'd like more information on matching gifts, you can contact the Aquinas Fund Manager, Kelly Conlan at (585) 254-2020 ext. 1050 or via email at kconlan@aquinasinstitute.com. “Graduating from Aquinas has had an immense impact on my life. The opportunities and experiences I had there have shaped who I am today. That's why it's so important to me to give back and provide those same opportunities to future generations. Working at UBS Financial Services has allowed me to do just that. They have a great program where they match 100% of what we donate as employees, up to $2,500 annually. If you're considering where to work, I highly recommend looking into whether your future employer has a similar program. It's an amazing benefit that often goes unused. Corporate matching gifts are one of the easiest ways to help you maximize your gifts to Aquinas. These meaningful gifts help ensure that tomorrow's Aquinas students have the same opportunities that we did." - Paul D’Aiutolo ‘90
