Please note:

Question:

How long does it take from the time I submit the application until the Fund sends its matching gift?

Answer:

Matching gift checks are processed monthly and mailed directly to the recipient entity. We will email you when the application has been approved. Submitting a complete application with all requested documentation ensures your match will be processed as quickly as possible.

Prior to completing your application, review these steps to ensure you have everything you need:

  1. Gather information. You will need to provide the organization's name, a contact name, address, phone number and the organization's Tax ID.

      OR
    • Option B Download the Matching Gift Certification Form : Complete your portion of the form and send to the organization to complete.
