Many employers offer matching gift programs that double or triple your contribution. Check with your HR department or search the matching gift database on your company's intranet. Provide them with our EIN (83-2464095) and legal name. For corporate matching inquiries, email admin@ibadoeastafrican.org with your company name and we will assist with the paperwork.

Absolutely. Use the dedication message field on the donation form to specify which program you would like to support: Crisis Relief, Career Workshops, or Youth & Senior Outreach. If no designation is made, your gift supports our area of greatest need — which our program team determines monthly based on intake data and community demand.
