Employer Matching Gifts

Matching Gift and Volunteer Grant information provided by

At the heart of our community, our Library provides a place where everyone can learn, create, study and explore. The San José Public Library Foundation was established in 1987 by a group of community volunteers who understood that a great Library system needed more than public funding.

Libraries make a difference in the lives of everyone in our communities, and support from individuals like you is vital to their success. A gift today is a gift for the future!

A quick and easy way to double your contribution is through employee giving programs. Many corporations match employee (or the spouse of an employee, or retiree) donations to our organization.

If you volunteer with the San Jose Public Library, your employer may also provide us with a grant as a way to recognize your ongoing support.

Use the tool above to find out if your employer will match your financial gifts or volunteer hours. Some companies will even continue matching financial gifts or volunteer hours for retired employees!
