Corporate Programs

Ask your donors to check with their Human Resources Department at work to see if their company has a matching gifts program. This is a great way to double your sponsor’s contribution while helping their company gain visibility as a result of their charitable efforts.

It also never hurts to find out what your company can do:
• Ask if they will match what you raise or make a contribution.
• Could they publicize your efforts in the company newsletter?
• If there are other participants at work, will they sponsor a corporate team?
• Could you make a presentation at a staff meeting?
• Get creative with the role your work could play in your fundraising.

Spread the word! Sent an email or inter-office memo (be sure to get permission first) or ask if you can make a presentation during a staff meeting. Print out a copy of your personal fundraising page and post it along with offline donation forms in your cubicle or on your office door. Be creative. There are lots of ways to spread the word around your office!
