Corporate Matches 
Your Sponsor’s Company
Remind your sponsors to check with their Human Resources Department at work to see if their company has a matching gifts program. This is a great way to double your sponsor's contribution while helping their company gain visibility as a result of their charitable efforts.

To apply matching gifts to your ride:
Your contributors simply need to go to their human resources department and ask for a matching gift form. They will need to fill out some information and enclose it with their contribution. You will then forward it along to the PMC office when you periodically send in your contributions. Your account will automatically be credited for the match. We will then fill out the rest of the form and return it to the company. They may have certain qualifications for making contributions. If those qualifications are met they will mail a matching gift in directly.

Some companies use an on-line match instead of a paper form. In this case, your sponsor will go on-line to their company's website and submit a request for the match. They should then print out the receipt and send it to you along with the donation.
If you are sending in a matching gift form for either a check you already sent in or for an eGift, simply include a note that lets us know.

Your Company
-Ask your company to support you. Talk to your boss or human resources director. Once you get the boss on board your co-workers will follow. Ask your company for a large corporate contribution or to match everything you raise. Will they sponsor a fundraising event? Will they publicize your ride in the company newsletter? If there are four other riders from work will they sponsor a corporate team?

-Be visible. Put up a chart of your training and fundraising progress. Put up a map of the route and auction off miles. Make a poster with a picture of you on your bike and attach pledge forms to it and post it on your door. Be creative.

-Spread the word. Use e-mail or inter-office memos (get permission). Ask if you can make a presentation during a staff meeting.
