Matching Funds
The state may match your gift from one of the following trust funds, depending on your contribution's size, the way it is given, and the availability of state monies:
 
Florida's Major Gifts Trust Fund may provide sliding scale matching dollars for gifts for permanent endowments for libraries, instruction and research programs, and Eminent Scholar Chairs (minimum $1 million gift).
• $100,000 to $599,999 gifts matched 50 percent.
• $600,000 to $1,000,000 gifts matched 70 percent
• $1,000,001 to $1,500,000 gifts matched 75 percent
• $1,500,001 to $2,000,000 gifts matched 80 percent
• $2,000,001 or more gifts matched 100 percent
 
Florida's Facilities Enhancement Challenge Grant Program may provide one-to-one matches for gifts to build or renovate high-priority instructional or research-related facilities.
Employer Matching Funds
Many employers will match your contribution if you send a matching gift form from your benefits office with your gift.

Matching funds are an important source of support for UF / IFAS, which is cooperatively funded by federal, state, and county governments and by private gifts and grants. Private support builds on this foundation and allows UF / IFAS to extend and enhance its programs and services.
