Do you or any
of your friends/relatives work for a large company that offers charity fund
matching as an employee benefit?
Charity fund
matching is a way that large companies can contribute to the charitable causes
close to the heart of their
individual
employees. Tadworth Primary School PTA
is a registered charity and, as such, qualifies as a worthy cause under the rules of
such schemes. Any funds we can raise are greatly appreciated.
Although
rules differ between companies, the general premise is that they will match up
to a certain amount of funds raised per year. For
example, Legal and General will match up to £750 raised by an employee on
behalf of a charity in a year. That person has to
have raised the funds directly or be involved in the fundraising event on the
day. We were very lucky to have so many people
help with the Spring Fair this year which raised well over £1000. If any of the people who helped were able to apply for
fund matching, the amount raised would increase significantly. If you’re not sure whether your employer
offers fund
matching then
please check your employee benefits and/or speak to HR.
If your
employer offers fund matching and you would be willing to help, please fill in
the slip below and return it to Mrs Marshall on the school
reception. If there are a number of
people working for a particular company (e.g. Legal and General) then we will arrange
to co-ordinate any applications for funds. Alternatively, you can email the PTA directly: tadworthpta@gmail.com
Very many
thanks for your support.
Tadworth PTA.
