My company offers corporate matching for donations. Can I do that for Little Laps?
Yes! When you make a donation for a student running Little Laps, there is a spot that you can look up your company to see if it will offer a donation match. Each donor who successfully gets their donation matched by their company essentially counts as two donors instead of one, without much extra work!
Donors looking to get their gifts matched typically need to submit a gift match request to their company. The process will vary slightly from company to company, but usually donors will make their donation, check that it’s eligible to be matched, and submit a form to the company. When the request form is approved, the company will make a matching donation. Donation matching ratios vary from company to company.
