How to Support FEF through Corporate Matching

  • 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

    (510) 659-2561

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