Higher Education & Public Broadcasting Match


The 3M Foundation matches 1:1 U.S. 3M employee and retiree gifts to higher education and public broadcasting up to $5,000 per person per calendar year. Effective Jan. 1, 2008, the maximum amount is raised to $10,000.

  • First Time Registration - I am a 3M employee or retiree and this is my first time using online registration, so I will need to create a new password before accessing the system.
  • Returning Sign In - I am a 3M employee or retiree and I have used online registration before, so I have already created a password.

How do I enter my employee number?

Employees: You must enter your 8-digit employee number/Person ID. Example 01234567. Do NOT use your 3M User ID (Example, USXXXXXX). If you're not sure, go to 3M Source, the Global Workforce Directory. Look up your name, and refer to the Person ID.

Retirees: If you had a 4-digit 3M employee number: Enter "0100" in front. For example, "4444" becomes "01004444." If you had a 5-digit 3M employee number, Enter "010" in front. For example, "55555" becomes "01055555." If you are not sure, call 1-877-473-6394 or in the Twin Cities, call 651-575-6430. This phone number should ONLY be used to confirm your Person ID.
