DOES YOUR COMPANY MATCH DONATIONS?
We are about $10k short of our goal, and you may be able to double your impact! Last year, parents and alumni helped FFSLS by submitting matching gift forms to their employers. Your employer may offer a matching gift program that can increase your donation. Matching gift programs are a form of corporate philanthropy where businesses match the donations their employees make to charitable organizations.
If you will take a moment, please check whether your employer participates in gift matching by entering your company name here, or connect with your Human Resource or Community Relations Department. Once you have submitted your matching gift request form or if you have any questions about the process, please contact us at board@benefitsls.org.
DONATIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
If you would like to make a donation any time during the year, you may do so here.
NOW WE’RE ON TO PLANNING THE NEXT FUN EVENT!
Please reach out to fundraisers@benefitsls.org if you are interested in joining the planning committee.
