Match Funding
If you work for an organisation that has a Match Funding policy, any money you raise could be matched by your employer. Companies may match the fundraising total for an event, or for the stall that their employee is working on. Usually, the employee will need to supply them with a letter from the PTA detailing the date and nature of the event, together with the total raised.
We understand that the high street banks, building societies, supermarkets and large corporations are likely to do match funding, but 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.
We would be grateful if you could see if your employer has a match funding scheme, or if they are willing to match fund any of our events. If you can’t help out this time, but you know the company you work for has a match funding policy, please let us know. This could be a really large source of income for the PTA and help us raise very much needed funds for Highfield Primary.
Do not forget to ask family members to get involved, the more people who are willing to ask their place of work, the more donations we receive.
If you are able to help us this way, please email friendsofhighfield@hotmail.com and we can discuss your companies’ requirements.
