Employer Matching

KEXP Matching Gifts Promo 2025_LP Banner 600x230 (1).jpg

Did you know that you may be able to increase the impact of your gift to KEXP with an employer match? As a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and an affiliate of the University of Washington, KEXP is eligible for most Employer Matching Gift programs.


How can I find out if my employer matches gifts?

Contact your Human Resources department to learn if your employer can match contributions. Each company does matching a little differently and if your employer does match, they can share information about the policies and process specific to them.


My employer does match gifts! How can I enroll?

You can request an employer match for your charitable gift through THREE easy steps:

1) Contact your HR department to determine instructions for submitting a matching gift. 

2) Determine the amount that you are eligible to have matched, which is the amount you have given year-to-date minus the fair market value of thank you gifts received this year (see table at the bottom of this page).

3) Designate your matched funds to KEXP (or Friends of KEXP). We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and our non-profit registration number, or EIN, is: 91-2061474.

Your employer may also ask for additional information about KEXP:

Legal Name: Friends of KEXP (but KEXP works too)
Address: 472 1st Ave N, Seattle WA 98109
Tax ID number or EIN: 91-2061474

* Please note that employers can only match the amount you have given to-date, as opposed to the total amount you intend to donate over time. 

  • If you made a one-time gift: You can submit for a match for the full amount.
  • If you are a monthly donor: Your can submit a matching gift form for each month's individual gift OR submit periodically or annually for a summation of monthly gifts completed.


Please contact KEXP Donor Services, donorservices@kexp.org or 206.520.5843, with any questions about matching gifts.
