Double Your Extraordinary Impact

The AIChE Foundation is appreciative of companies including Abbvie, Celanese, and Pfizer which offer matching gift programs. Matching gifts is an easy and structured way for companies to support their employees who are invested in doing good in their communities.

Abbvie is committed to investing in the next generation of talent and I am grateful that they offer a matching gift program, which I leveraged to double my individual gift in support of the Brown Endowment. — Shailendra Bordawekar, AIChE Foundation Trustee 

In late 2021, the Foundation added the Double the Donation widget to its donation site to offer a more seamless experience for its donors to determine if their company offers a matching gift program. Since then, matching gift donations have more than tripled!

Shailendra Bordawekar, AIChE Foundation Trustee, shared, "Abbvie is committed to investing in the next generation of talent and I am grateful that they offer a matching gift program, which I leveraged to double my individual gift in support of the Brown Endowment."

This year, the Brown Endowment is launching a new campaign to raise $100,000. These additional funds will advance the endowment even closer to its ultimate goal of $600,000 to ensure all 30 $1,000 awards to be funded in perpetuity. 

With support from individuals and companies alike, AIChE will continue to play a lead role in attracting and retaining the best and the brightest to achieve a truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive profession.
