Many companies match employee contributions to nonprofit organizations (US based 501(c)(3)). This can be anywhere from 25% to 200% of your original donation, at no additional cost to you.

Definitely! Corporations are happy to do corporate matching for two reasons. First, it gets them tax deductions. Second, it also gives them an opportunity to be good corporate citizens.

Absolutely not. Companies keep corporate matching data confidential.

If your company offers corporate matching, please apply for it right away. Some companies have strict time constraints within which employees are required to submit corporate match applications.

Check with your benefits or community programs person.

Each company has a different process for employer matching. Some take all requests online or electronically while others still require you to submit a paper application and donation receipt. Usually, once you submit a request for a match to your donation, your company will contact the Fremont Education Foundation to verify we received your donation. Once we confirm that we have the donation, your company then sends a check to match it.

Request that Fremont Education Foundation be added to the list of organizations eligible for corporate matching. Companies may vary, but you will probably be asked to provide the following information:

Fremont Education Foundation
39120 Argonaut Way, #381
Fremont, CA 94538-1304
(510) 659-2561

Your company will then contact us for any other documents required.
