Matching Gifts

​Show Your Love for Scouting Matching Gifts!

Scott is like many parents who trek every summer with their kid’s troop to Scout camp. He loves it because he gets to eat by the campfire, sleep under the stars, and witness kids have that “aha moment” when they develop new skill for life. More than anything else, he loves how his company donates to Scouting for volunteering his time!

Maybe you're more like Katherine. She is busy mom of two Cub Scouts who are also into peewee hockey, dance, and tons of backyard adventures. On top of her busy home life, she holds down a management position at one Minnesota’s fortune 500 companies. She loves her kids, going on all their Scouting adventures, and most of all, her company matches her Scouting gift to help other youth to benefit from the program!

Let your company show Scouting the love by logging your volunteer hours or requesting a company match for your donation! Each year, your donation cover a variety of areas to help youth enjoy Scouting - from sending financially challenged youth to camp to covering an income gap in a membership fee. The time you invest and dollars you give make Scouting possible to youth from Willmar, Minnesota to New Richmond, Wisconsin.

Show your passion for Scouting by designating your matched volunteer hours gift directly to Scouting, and specifically to Northern Star Council, BSA (EIN 20-3000282). Ask your human resources department about matching gifts today!

Most employers have workplace giving programs that can automatically give a portion of your paycheck to a targeted charity on your behalf.  Even better, they might match your gift at the same time, making it a double investment! And Scouting qualifies!
