Many gifts to Portsmouth Abbey are doubled, or even tripled, because corporations and foundations match gifts made by their employees, retirees and directors. Typically, Portsmouth Abbey receives over $50,000 each year because our donors took the extra steps necessary to maximize their gifts by obtaining a matching gift form from a corporation or foundation with which they are affiliated.

If you or your spouse is affiliated with an organization that will match gifts to private secondary schools, please forward the matching gift form along with your gift to Portsmouth Abbey. If making your gift online, send the form separately by mail. Please check with your personnel office to obtain a matching gift form.

To make a matching gift, please contact Development Office Coordinator and Database Manager Kirsten Harvey at 401.643.1269.
