We absolutely take matching donations, more information can be found on the WMF website itself:

Thank you for your questions!
I think there's some confusion here, I assume Renata was referring to having an organization that would match all donations for a certain day or week, as has happened in some of our past fundraisers. That link is information for people whose employers have a gift-matching program as one of their employee benefits, which can cover donations made at any time, even if they are not made during the current contributions campaign.

Michael, you are correct. My employer does not have gift matching but in the past I always waited to see if WMF would get some sponsor to match donations for a particular day.
