Company Matching Funds

Some companies offer employees the chance to boost their fundraising by “matching” the money they raise.  Matched funding (which may be called a different name by your employer such as “Pound for Pound”) is when your employer pledges a sum of money to a charity of your choice.  In the past, banks, building societies, insurance companies, supermarkets, utilities providers, telephone companies and car manufacturers have offered to match fund, however, these schemes are not exclusive to the major corporate giants. If you work for an independent company, they may be interested in charitable giving through match funding too.

Please ask your HR department or your employer if they have a match funding policy and if so, please let us know, as it is very easy to set up and is an important source of income for our school.
