Corporate Matching

Double Your Donations with an Employer Match

How Corporate Matching Works:

Did you know that many business organizations offer a matching gift program as part of their employee benefits package?

These programs allow you to invoke your organization's philanthropy for the benefit of Saratoga Elementary School!  Through corporate gift matching, your employer can multiply your donation to Saratoga Elementary School PTA provided it is processed within the specified time period.  Corporate matching is one of the major ways we are able to meet our goals.

Contact your employer's Human Resources department and ask about matching funds for 501(c)(3) charitable organizations such as Saratoga Elementary School PTA. If they don't, you may want to ask your employer to start one. 

Simple Steps for Corporate Matching:

1. Write a check to the Saratoga Elementary PTA or contribute online at any time during the school year.

2. Use the information below to send matching funds to Saratoga Elementary PTA.  This is a time sensitive process so please don't delay!

3. Complete your corporate matching forms and turn it into the PTA drawer in the school office.  The PTA will fill out the form to ensure that the corporate match is received  OR If you signup for corporate matching electronically, please print out your electronic receipt and include it with your PTA "Better Together" donation check.

4. We take care of the rest!  We will verify the donation and submit the completed forms to your respective company.
