Matched Funding

We are keen to maximise the fundraising potential for our school and Matched Funding has the ability to increase the takings of school events many times over.

How? An increasing number of large companies operate a match funding scheme whereby they “match” charity fundraising undertaken by their employees. These organisations set aside millions of pounds to fund such schemes and are more than happy to support their staff in raising money for charities of their choice.

There are many ways you can participate to enable the school to benefit from matched funding. For example, one parent at the summer fair successfully claimed £350 match funding from her employer after helping on the tombola stall for one hour.

What can you do? As the PTA is a registered charity we are in a position to benefit from your involvement, however big or small, at any fundraising school event. Your participation might be, for example, managing a stall or helping with the raffle. Both qualify as assisting with fundraising.
