BD Matching Gift Program

(For U.S. associates and retirees only)

For eligible BD associates and retirees, the Company matches both monetary donations and volunteer time to many nonprofit public charities and educational institutions that meet the program guidelines. Thousands of gifts are matched each year that support the nonprofit efforts of 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charities.  Also eligible are qualifying U.S. organizations in the areas of health, environmental protection, arts and culture, social welfare, education and more.

For fiscal year 2007, the BD’s Matching Gift program funded over $1,734,506 to such organizations.

• By matching individual BD associates' contributions and volunteer efforts, the program supports nonprofit public charities and recognizes the valuable role BD associates play in their communities
• The GivingStation®, powered by CreateHope®, is a web tool that allows participants to initiate a BD matching financial gift online for monetary gifts or volunteer time.
• New option: Using either MasterCard® or Visa®, participants can make a gift to any eligible organization directly through the GivingStation and initiate a match at the same time. This new method also speeds the matching process.
