Corporate
Matching Gifts:
Double
your donation!
Many companies
match their employee's charitable gifts. So if you contributed
$50, they’d match it for a total of $100 to the
Lance Armstrong Foundation.
Here's the
process to follow:
STEP
1 - Check with your company's HR department
to determine if they will match for contributions made
to the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Note that most companies
will not match donations for silent auction items.
STEP
2 - If they match, obtain a matching gifts
form from the HR department. Complete the form and attach
a copy of your donation receipt (from the LAF directly
or from activegiving.com).
STEP
3 - Write the following information on the
upper right hand corner of your company's matching gifts
form:
"Tour
de Road America / Austin / #99215609"
This will
ensure that the LAF can find the original donation.
If your matching gift form is filled out electronically,
please be sure to indicate "Tour de Road America
/ Austin / #99215609" in the notes field of the
electronic form.
STEP
4 - Make a copy of the form and mail to:
Lance
Armstrong Foundation
Attn: Matching Gifts
National Mail Processing Center
P.O. Box 6002
Albert Lea, MN 56007-6602
If possible,
attach a copy of your donation receipt to the matching
gift form. A copy of donations made through the LAF's
web site may be obtained by calling 888.4.CHALLENGE
(888.424.2553).
Once the
form is received at the processing center, the LAF will
verify the amount of the original donation and return
the form to your company so they can complete the matching
process.
If your company
approves the gift, they will mail a check to the LAF
for the matching gift. And then you've done
it...you've doubled your donation!
