Requesting A Matching Gift...
Requesting a matching gift is easy, simply follow these steps:
-
Confirm that the organization is listed as a 501c3 charity.
-
Write your check and make a photo copy or scan of your check.
-
If you are making an online donation, print a copy of the receipt page (or a screen print saved as a .jpeg).
-
Send a copy of the check or receipt page along with a short note indicating:
- who to make the matching check to
- where to send the matching check
- any additional info that needs to be included
Are you organizing a collection and plan to get several family members to make donations. You can simply keep a list of which family members contributed and how much, submit the info all at once to the Foundation and we will write one large matching check (like we did for Nate's Robin Hood Foundation Marathon Run in 2010).
If you have any questions on how to get a matching gift, please talk to one of the Trustees.
