Double Your Donation
Make the Most with Company Matching
Every donation matters in supporting our school. Did you know your contribution can go even further? Many companies offer matching programs that can double, or even triple, your donation.
See how below!
Match Your Donation for Free!
Did you know many companies already have programs to match employee donations? Your donation can go twice as far, or even more, with corporate matching. For instance, a $100 donation from you could turn into $200 if your employer participates in a matching gifts program. It's a simple and effective way to amplify your support for the students at Sessions Elementary.
How Does It Work?
Companies offer "matching" gift programs to bolster the charitable efforts of their employees. They might match 50%, 100%, or sometimes even 200% of their employee's contribution to non-profit organizations like Friends of Kate Sessions PTO.
If you're unsure whether your company participates, check your company's guidelines on matching gift eligibility and program criteria. And if they don't, consider asking them to become a giving partner. For reference, Friends of Kate Sessions PTO's tax ID # is 33-0089369.
A bonus tip: If spouses work at different companies, both can request their employers to match their donations, which can triple the original donation amount!
Volunteer Grants: An Added Bonus
Some companies go beyond just matching monetary donations. They offer “volunteer grants” which means they make a donation to organizations where their employees volunteer. If you spend time helping out at our school, your company might support your efforts with a financial contribution. Don’t miss out on this opportunity—ask your company today!
