Matching Gifts A matching gift is an easy way to increase the impact of your donation. Your contribution may be doubled or even tripled through your employer’s matching gifts program. Many companies match contributions made by retired employees as well. Ask for a matching gift form at your company’s personnel office. Complete it and send it along with your contribution. Both you and your employer will be recognized for the matching gift contribution. We are grateful for matching gifts made to Literacy Volunteers of Tucson by companies and foundations on behalf of their employees, directors and trustees. If your company's name does not appear below, please inquire at the personnel office to see if a matching program is available.

"You're just held back on a lot of things. You just can't do a lot of things that you'd like to. You don't want to go up to someone and say, "I can't read that," because they'll say, "You're nothing but a dummy," or you'll get teased. That is the hardest thing. There's a lot of people come up to me and say, "You look very intelligent," but deep down inside I know I'm not very intelligent. I might talk big, but I know I'm not because when it comes down to reading, I can't do it. That's the whole ball game right there." (Tim Hicks as quoted in Clarke, M. 1991.
