Dear Parents / Carers,

You will hopefully be aware of the fantastic work your PTA are doing to raise funds for our school. We wanted to take this opportunity to remind you about alternative ways to help raise funds for the PTA and it will only cost you a little bit of time.

If you work for an organisation that has a match funding policy, any money you raise could be matched by your employer. Companies may match the fundraising total for an event, or for the stall that their employee is working on. Usually, the employee will need to supply them with a letter from the PTA detailing the date and nature of the event, together with the total raised.

We understand that the high street banks, building societies, supermarkets and large corporations are likely to do match funding, but these schemes are not exclusive to the major corporate giants. If you work for an independent company, they may be interested in charitable giving through match funding too.

We would be grateful if you could see if your employer has a match funding scheme, or if they are willing to match fund any of our events. If you can’t help out this time, but you know the company you work for has a match funding policy, please let us know. 

Alternatively, many companies support charitable causes by offering their employees the opportunity to donate to charities through platforms like Benevity. Some employers allocate a sum of money to each employee's donation account, often a percentage of their salary (e.g., 2%), which can then be directed to a charity of their choice. i.e. Boxgrove Parent Teacher Association - Charity number 1095629.

If you, or your company, are able to assist, please reach out to us. We are more than happy to discuss your company’s specific requirements. Match funding and platforms like Benevity represent an incredible opportunity to access significant resources that could help fund our children’s education and enhance their experience at Boxgrove School. Your support could make a meaningful difference!

Thank you for your support.
