My wife's employer has an employee match for the first $2K so we do it through them. Once it's pulled out over the course of year it's still a significant amount but not a huge one time account drainer. I think of it as sort of like a reverse 401k match! 😄
EDIT: They have a huge drive every year for employee donations, both time and money. It's one thing for some fat wallet exec to wrote a cheque, it's a completely different thing to donate your time.

I work for a university, so unfortunately, they don't match donations. I think that A.) they don't have the money for that, specifically, and B.) they don't want to match a donation to an organization that might have beliefs not in line with theirs, and therefore compromise their "neutral" stance, and give the wrong impression.
