Frequently asked questions
Yes. The Alliant Energy Foundation matches - dollar for dollar - each qualifying donation of $25 or more (up to an individual maximum of $10,000 per year) to any qualifying educational and charitable organization.
Active Alliant Energy employees and retirees of Alliant Energy or one of its predecessor companies are eligible to participate in the program.
Eligible participants complete a simple form and return it, along with their monetary contribution, to a qualifying educational or charitable organization.
That organization then completes the form, verifies the gift and returns it to the Foundation office, where we process the request and subsequently distribute the funds.
No. The Foundation's Matching Gifts program is driven by the participant, and we do not make the form available to non-profit groups to distribute.
You can certainly remind your donors that the program exists and encourage them to use it; however, the forms are made available only by the Foundation and only to eligible participants.
