Matching Gifts
How do you “cash in” on this incentive? Prior to the MS Panther Climb, go to your Human Resource Department and pick up a Matching Gifts Contribution form and turn it in with your pledges. Be sure to let the person checking you in know that you have this form so that it will be processed appropriately.
Your company may match your self-contribution or contributions from your co-workers. Matching gifts must be applied for through the company and then sent to the National MS Society office for verification.
The advantages of using Matching Gifts as part of your pledges are:
1. You can possibly double the amount of money you turn in and qualify for larger incentives.
2. Those individuals that sponsor you can take advantage of this as well, adding dollars to your pledges.
3. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society will be able to fund more research, programs and education with the funds received from Matching Gifts, aiding us in our mission to end the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis.
This is a benefit your company offers; why not use it?
Note: If you or one of your sponsors are using matching gifts, please make sure the rider's name is somewhere on the form so that we can credit the gift properly. Also, if you are submitting Matching Gift Applications over the web, please mail or include with your pledges a printed copy with rider's name.
