The Northrop Grumman Foundation's Employee Matching Gifts for Education Program is designed to acknowledge and support our employees' commitment to education.
Matched on a dollar-for-dollar basis, verified contributions from $50 to $5,000 are eligible. The Foundation will only match two gifts, per employee/donor, per calendar year and the match will not exceed the maximum of $5,000. All employee/donor gifts must be verified before a matching gift grant is made by the Foundation directly to the educational institution.
Regardless of the date of the employee/donor contribution, the date upon which the form is processed is the official date of the Foundation match.
The Northrop Grumman Foundation may change, suspend, or terminate this program at any time and reserves the right to determine whether any gift is eligible to be matched. The information on this Web site supercedes information on any other Northrop Grumman sector form, flyer, brochure or Web site.
The Foundation does not match employee/donor gifts for anything other than education.
