Corporate Matching
What is corporate matching?
Many companies will match contributions to nonprofit organizations made by their employees. This can double the money you donate to LCH. Below is a partial list of companies confirmed to match donations made by their employees. If you do not see your company’s name on our list, please check with your employer's benefits department about corporate matching.
Does corporate matching benefit my employer?
Many corporations are happy to match your donation as they, too, will get a tax deduction for their donation.
Will corporate matching impact me negatively?
Absolutely not. Companies keep corporate matching data private. No one has access to this data. In most cases, companies outsource the entire process.
How do I ensure that my matching donation gets to the right organization?
For most employer systems, the easiest way to find the LCH PTA is to search for our tax payer ID (EIN: 33-0169656). The organization will either be listed as “La Costa Heights PTA” or in some systems it may come up as “PTA California Congress of Parents, Teachers & Students”. This is the umbrella organization for all PTAs in California and LCH is a sub-entity. Either way the matching funds will get to us. In some cases, you may be asked to enter our NCES District ID (0612750) and our School ID (08830) for verification. It always helps to forward any verification e-mails to fundraising@lacostaheightspta.org so that we can help ensure that the match works its way through the system. We are here to help!
When should I apply for corporate matching?
Right now! Some companies distribute corporate matching funds right away, while others process them once a quarter. Some companies require you to submit corporate match applications certain times of the year. If your company offers corporate matching, please apply for it right away.
