It is fulfilling to know that your individual tax credit contribution is helping families afford quality, Catholic education for their children. How much more rewarding could it be to know that your contribution could be doubled or even tripled?

Many businesses sponsor matching gift programs as part of their corporate philanthropy. Contributions made by their employees and retirees can be matched, doubled or in some cases tripled, making an even larger impact on the lives of students!

James A. Barasha, Vice President and Senior Financial Advisor at Merrill, a Bank of America Company, is a loyal tax credit contributor who participates in the Employee Matching Program that his company offers.

“Giving to organizations such as CEA, Leslie and I have found self-rewarding as it makes us feel good and it helps strengthen our family values. I can’t speak for Bank of America but I’m positive it shares with all its employees to be responsible members within our communities. I have personally found the matching process at Bank of America to be very supporting and simple to use. We look forward to making future donations.”
