Company Donation Matching
If you’ve donated money or volunteer hours to the Clear Springs Charger Band program over the past year, please consider looking into your company’s policies on matching donations or volunteer grant programs.
Our biggest fundraiser of the year, the Rock-a-thon, is just around the corner, and taking advantage of company matching (for both 2016 and 2017!) would be an awesome way to boost the fundraising capabilities of the band.
Many companies offer these opportunities. The ones listed below are highlighted because one or more booster club members indicated they work at these companies.
The following companies offer donation matching at the indicated levels. Follow the links to find more information.
