Double Your Impact…. It’s not too late!

Did you know on average about 1 in 10 companies match employee donations?

By simply completing a matching-gift form from you company you may be able to double- even triple the impact of your donation to Candlelight Ranch. If you volunteer with us your employer may provide us with a grant as a way to recognize your ongoing support. Most employers included spouses or retirees in their matching-gift program.

As a supporter of Candlelight Ranch, you know that contributions of any amount help us to do more for the over 1600 children and families we will serve this year. We encourage you to take advantage of this wonderful program and are extremely grateful for your dedication!
