Fundraising Tips, Matching Gift Programs

Does your employer have a 'Matching Gift' program?
Are you looking for the easiest and most efficient way to have your contributions be made directly at the Matching Gift website?

As an SAP employee for example you can make your employee contributions directly at the Matching Gift website (www.easymatch.com/SAP) and the match can be confirmed automatically in one step . Matches and employee gifts go out monthly.

If you would rather the contribution go to the organization directly, you will still have to go to the site and request the match and the MS Foundation will have to confirm the gift was made. This is certainly a slower process and could be up to three months, assuming the organization confirms the gifts.

For SAP employees, contributions over $50 are eligible for a corporate match through the SAP Matching Gift Program. To double your difference, please log onto www.easymatch.com/sap and select Dollars for Dollars -> Submit a New Request -> Cash/Check/Credit Card -> Select 'National Multiple Sclerosis Society' as the Organization.

When you submit your request, please insert EVENT NAME, EVENT DATE, EMPLOYEE PARTICIPANT ID in the Purpose Line.

Good luck fundraising!
