Double Your Donation with Corporate Matching

Did you know that many companies will match your charitable donations—sometimes dollar for dollar? If your employer offers a corporate matching program, your contribution to the Mount Prospect PTO could have twice the impact for our students!

How It Works (Step-by-Step)

  1. Make your donation to the PTO Mount Prospect School Inc.

  2. Check if your employer offers donation matching (most HR departments or employee portals have this info).

  3. Submit a matching request with your company using the details included in your donation receipts.

NOTE: The Mount Prospect School PTO is listed on Benevity, which many employers use for their giving & matching program. 

 

Sample Email to Your HR Department

Dear HR Department,
 
I am writing to inquire about the corporate matching gift program. I recently made a donation to the Mount Prospect Elementary School's Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) and would like to know if the company matches charitable donations. The PTO is listed on Benevity. 
 
The PTO plays a vital role in supporting our school, and I would like to maximize the impact of my contribution. I donated [Amount] to the PTO, and I am hoping the company will match this donation. 
 
Could you please provide information on how to initiate the matching gift process? Specifically, I'd like to know: 
 
  • Does the company have a matching gift program?
  • What is the process for submitting a matching gift request?
  • Are there any specific forms or documentation required?
  • What is the deadline for submitting matching gift requests?
Thank you for your time and assistance.
 
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your Employee ID (if applicable)]
