Match Funding

Did you know that many companies offer their employees Matched Fund Schemes, whereby employers match money raised by you for your chosen charity. These schemes are an excellent way of raising additional money for our school. The Heath4Health and summer fair for example, is an ideal time to ask your HR department if they offer Matched Funding and a little bit of your time could raise double the funds for our school!

Companies may match the total fund raised for an event, or for the stall that their employee is working on. Usually, the employee will need to supply their employer with a letter from the the charity detailing the date and nature of the event, together with the amount raised.

We would be grateful if you could see if your employer has a Matched Funding Scheme. For more details and guidance on how to apply please email hello@friendsofjohnball.org 

Matched Funding could be a really large source of income for us and help us raise much needed funds to support John Ball School and enrich our students experience in school.
