Does your company have a matching gift program? Please use the following information to help make our matching program a success!

Please read carefully the guidelines of your employer's matching gift program. Many companies only match donations given to educational institutions or arts and culture organizations, etc. Also, check to see if your company only matches your individual donations. Several companies only match checks/cash from the employee and will not match all pledges turned in by the employee. Many companies also have a minimum amount that you must donate before they match such as $25.00. Please do not send in forms that cannot be processed.

Please include the name of the runner or their account number somewhere on the form. This will enable quicker processing. Please do not date the form. Many companies have a 90 day policy on accepting forms and they go by the date filled in by the donor, not by the date filled in by the recipient organization. Many forms are turned in months after the donation has been received and by the time the form is processed it is too late to turn in to the company for a match.

Don't forget to sign the form! It is an easy step to miss. Also, please fill out the form completely with address and phone number information in case there are any questions about the form.

Please turn in the form at the same time the donation/pledge is turned in. This makes processing faster as well.
