How to Get Your Employer to Match Your Donation

Did you know many employers will match donations to non-profit organizations, often doubling (or more!) the impact of your gift?? Red Hill Elementary PTA is already registered with several common matching platforms (like Benevity), but every company’s process looks a little different.

Here are some general steps to follow:

1. Log in to your company’s HR or Employee Benefits portal

   • Look for sections labeled “Giving,” “Charitable Contributions,” “Employee Giving,” or “Matching Gifts.”

   • Some companies use third-party platforms like Benevity, YourCause, CyberGrants, or Bright Funds.

    

2. Search for our organization

   • Try “Red Hill Elementary PTA” or “Red Hill Elementary School PTA.”

   • If your company uses Benevity, we should already appear as an eligible nonprofit.

   • If you don’t see us listed, you may be able to add us manually using our Tax ID: 33-0973857.

   • If you still don't see us listed, contact fundraising@redhillpta.org and we'll make sure we register with whatever platform your company uses!

    

3. Submit your donation receipt

   • Upload your donation confirmation or receipt from our site. Log in and view your orders here.

   • Enter the amount and date of your donation.

    

4. Company approves and sends the match

   • Once approved, your company will send the matching funds directly to Red Hill Elementary PTA. In 2024, we received a total of $2,600.

   • Timing varies, but matches typically arrive within a few weeks to a few months.

    

👉 Tip: If you’re unsure where to start, simply log into your HR portal and use the search bar for “matching gifts” or “charitable donations.” Or reach out to your department's HR representative.
