Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. In the United States, payroll giving is typically a after-tax deduction. You will be responsible for claiming this deduction on your personal tax return at the end of the year.

Does my employer match my payroll contributions?

Will I receive MPT member benefits?

How do I set up a payroll deduction?
You will need to enroll through your employer's workplace giving software.

1. Log in to your company’s internal giving platform.
