What is Match Funding?

If your school, PTA, charity, or community group is fundraising for a project, match funding could help you reach your goal faster.

What is Match Funding?

Match funding is when an employer agrees to match the money raised by their employees for a charity, school, or community organisation. This means a fundraising event that raises £500 could potentially generate an additional £500 through employer support.

How Does Match Funding Work?

Many larger organisations offer match funding as part of their community or employee engagement programmes. After completing a fundraising activity, employees can apply to have their employer make a matching donation, subject to the company’s terms and conditions.

Who Can Take Part?

It’s not just PTA members or volunteers who can help. Parents, school staff, governors, family members, and supporters who work for companies offering match funding may all be eligible to apply.

Why is Match Funding Worth Considering?

Match funding is one of the easiest ways to increase the amount raised from an event without asking supporters to donate more. It can help schools and charities fund projects more quickly while building valuable relationships with local businesses.

Conclusion

If you’re planning a fundraising event, it’s worth asking supporters whether their employer offers match funding. A simple enquiry could significantly increase the funds raised and help bring your project to life sooner.
