NOTE: The Foundation's new automated matching gifts system launched on Monday, September 29, 2008 (see Application Process below). Paper requests will be accepted until November 2008. For more information, please contact us at ngfoundation@ngc.com. Thanks for your understanding during this transition.
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 for education 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.

Go to the myNGC portal and click on the "Northrop Grumman Employee Directory" in the Hot Links menu on the right-hand side.
Once there, type in your first and last name or your badge number, click on Search, and find your "MyID."
Once you see your "MyID" write it down, proceed to the Matching Gifts site, and follow the online instructions.
If you cannot see your "MyID" or have difficulty accessing the myNGC portal, send an e-mail to Jocelyn Toves (jocelyn.toves@ngc.com) and request that your "MyID" be provided.
