The Wildflower Center always recommends you speak with your financial advisor or tax expert especially when paying for membership with certain charitable giving methods. Some methods may not allow you to receive benefits. Matching gifts from your employer will not increase your membership level or overall donation because it is a tax-deductible donation for your employer.
