Corporate Donation Gift Match
Thank you for your getting our Fund Development for the 2023-2024 off to a great start!
Many companies in the Bay Area give back to the community through corporate donation gift matching, which may help double your donations and volunteer hours to nonprofit organizations such as our PTA. This is often part of your employee benefits and your company is happy to donate to the charity/non profit of your choice!
Please contact your HR and find out the conditions and procedure. You can also use this link to find out if your company or spouses employeer participates in a matching program: https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&cpid=1799. Charity Navigator provides a free, online roadmap to intelligent giving by offering millions of donors a reliable place to go for unbiased assessments of and deep insights into operational best practices of nonprofit organizations throughout America. If your company is not listed, still contact your HR to see if they match. It never hurts to ask!
Company matching isn't only about matching monitary donations! Some employers will match the time you volunteer with a donation to our PTA in return. Your time volunteering with our PTA = $$$! Ask your HR today!
Steven Millard PTA is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with Federal Tax ID # 94-3168429. All donations are tax deductable.
Steven Millard PTA is a non-profit organization which provides funding for many student actvities, including field trips, assemblies, classroom supplies, library books and other important student programs. PTA also contributes to campus improvements such the MUR sound system, the shade structure over the lunch tables and the purchase of Chrome books, online programs, and disaster preparedness supplies. PTA is not the only fundraiser on campus as Millard teachers also fundraise for programs not funded by PTA. The PTA uses three types of fundraisers; active, passive and service based.
Active Fundraising
Accounts for about 60% of our operating funds. Active fundraisers are designed for "big return on the dollar" donations. This includes 100% tax deductible donations, company matches, and monthly School Night Out events.
Passive Fundraising
Involves signing up for ongoing programs such as shopping at Amazon.com.
Service Fundraising
Involves charging for services in order to cover the costs of offering these programs/services, such as Pumpkin Patch, Millard Spirit Apparel and School Yearbook.
Help us support our students by participating in as many of the different fundraising activities as possible. Together we can make a difference on our campus!
The Fundraising Drive at the start of the school year is the school’s largest funding source. Asking for support early in the year (vs later) help us plan the allocation of the PTA budget towards the best programs for our students through the rest of the school year.
Membership Form: please use the Membership form and donate generously. The completed form can be returned back to the school office or your student’s class teacher/homework folder.
Don’t forget to use Company Matching $.
Each month there is a School Night out at a local restaurant/fast casual eatery where the company will generously donate a portion of the night's sales to our PTA. See the monthly newsletter for this month's location and don't forget to show the flyer!
