EXXONMOBIL FOUNDATION UPDATE

ExxonMobil Foundation announced its decision to
discontinue its Educational Matching Gift Program next
year. Take advantage of the match one final time.

  1. Make your 2023 year-end gift
  2. Submit your matching claim by December 31st, 2023

You may be able to leverage your gift to the University of Houston by taking advantage of your employer’s corporate matching program. Many corporations offer matching gifts to support their employees’ charitable giving. In 2020, over 1,300 donors took advantage of their employer’s corporate matching to bring in an additional $1.6 million for student scholarships, departmental programs and other academic needs.

Find your employer, review their matching guidelines, and click on the form button to start the matching, process.

We thank you for your support and investment in the University of Houston. For any questions related to corporate matching please email us at matchgft@central.uh.edu or phone us at (713) 743-6366.
