ways to give

Did you know you could double your donation to the 100 Club of Illinois, reaching even more first responders and their families across Illinois? Many employers sponsor matching gift programs to match charitable contributions made by their employees. Gifts from employees’ spouses and retirees may also qualify for a match.

Please visit our Matching Gift site to see if your company will match your donations and to access the forms, guidelines, and instructions that you need to submit a matching gift.  It’s easy to check, and in most cases will take less than 30 seconds to find out if your gift qualifies!
