Corporate Matching

Your employer might match your charitable contribution when you give it to a non-profit like the CRS PTA. This match can double or even triple your donation! In addition, if you volunteer with us, your employer may also provide us with a grant as a way to recognize your ongoing support.

 

Thanks for checking to see if your company will match your donation and helping to support our Bobcats! Companies that have previously contributed matching funds include Bank of America, Fidelity, Northrup Grumman, Salesforce, and VMware.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What are corporate matching and employee matching gift programs? Many companies match their employees' contributions to eligible non-profit organizations (US-based 501(c)(3)) through corporate giving programs. Matching could instantly double the money you donate to the organization.

  2. What are volunteer grant programs? Volunteer grant programs are corporate giving programs in which companies provide monetary donations to organizations where employees volunteer regularly.

  3. How do I request a matching gift or volunteer grant? Requesting a matching gift or volunteer grant is usually a less than five-minute process that the donor /volunteer must initiate. You can do this through an electronic submission process or by filling out and submitting a paper match form provided by your employer. Use our lookup tool above to check on details for your company. Can't find your company? Consult your HR or Benefits Department for your company's program details and instructions for "matching funds" for "501(c)(3)" charitable organizations.

  4. Does corporate matching benefit my employer? Definitely. Corporations are happy to do match donations for two reasons. First, they get tax deductions, and it also allows them to be good corporate citizens.

  5. When should I apply for corporate matching? Apply as soon as you make your donation. Some companies distribute corporate matching funds right away, while others process them once a quarter. Some companies have strict time constraints within which employees must submit corporate match applications. If your company offers corporate matching, please apply for it right away.

  6. Can I match my class fund contribution? No, only donations to the Bobcat Fund are eligible for donation matching.
