The process for corporate matching begins with the employee. There are two ways for community donors to facilitate this process.

1.DONATE DIRECTLY FROM YOUR CORPORATE GIVING SITE (easiest):

  • Head to your employer’s giving site (see below for many local employer links)

  • Look up Tumwater Parent Teacher Organization (EIN #87-1380669), ensuring that you are donating to the correct organization

  • Make your donation directly on this website

  • Forward your confirmation email to vp@tumwaterpto.org so we can accurately track our fundraising efforts.

2.DONATE TO TUMWATER PTO & SUBMIT RECEIPT TO YOUR CORPORATE GIVING PROGRAM:

  • Donate to any Tumwater PTO initiative, including Rising Tides, our music boosters, or the 8th grade Celebration

  • Use our generic receipt or request a receipt from treasurer@tumwaterpto.org

  • Look up Tumwater Parent Teacher Organization (EIN #87-1380669) & “request a match,” ensuring that you are donating to the correct organization , & submiting your receipt through your employer’s corporate giving program

Either way, those few extra minutes are a huge boost to our efforts. Thank you!

VOLUNTEER HOURS: In addition to matching monetary donations, many employers will also provide matching funds for the volunteer hours employees log with registered non-profits. Check your company’s Corporate Giving site for details.
