Double Your Impact
Matching Gifts
Many
companies have matching gift and volunteer incentive programs to maximize their
financial contributions to non-profit organizations. This means they will match
their employees’ donations to the National MS Society, increasing your
fundraising total and bringing us closer to a world free of MS. Search for your
employer by visiting nationalMSsociety.org/EmployerMatch.
You
can significantly increase your fundraising total by asking your donors to
apply for matching gifts!
How
it works
- Send
an email to all your donors explaining the benefit of utilizing their company’s
matching gifts program.
- Ask
your donors to visit nationalMSsociety.org/EmployerMatch or
contact their company’s HR department to learn about their company’s matching
gift policies and procedures.
- Our
staff will send confirmation to the donor’s company.
- Upon receipt of the matching
gift check, we will credit your fundraising efforts with the amount. This
process may take some time depending on how frequently companies pay out
charitable donations. However, if we have received the matching gift paperwork
by the fundraising deadline, we will include the pending donation in your
fundraising total. It’s that easy!
