Not every employer or company offers a corporate matching gifts or funds program. If you are not sure, check with your employer’s HR department to find out.
Many corporations require that the organization they are matching funds for have 501(3)(c) non-profit status. The FRV PTA does!

Most employers with matching gift programs make it easy for their employees to match donations. Usually it’s as easy as filling out a form or submitting a simple request online. Check with your HR department.
Please note that each company is different and individual employer policies can change from time to time, however, so check with your company’s HR department to find out the most up-to-date details.

What can I do to maximize the benefits of my employer’s Matching Gifts program?

Many companies have certain requirements for matching their employees’ gifts. For instance, some companies will only match donations that meet a certain one-time minimum dollar amount, such as $25, $50 or $100.

In these instances, a donor is better off giving an amount that meets the minimum dollar amount once rather than giving a lesser amount on several different occasions.
For example, donations of $15 as a general donation and $35 for the Fall Fundraiser would not be matched by a company that requires a $50 minimum donation in order to match. These amounts cannot be aggregated and a donor would be better off making a one-time donation of $50 at just one event.

These minimums vary by company and change from time to time, so again, it is important to check with your specific employer’s HR department to find out the details and plan ahead!
