How Do I Apply for a Matching Gift?

1. Obtain a matching gift form and program guidelines from your Community Initiatives or Human Resources Department.  This information may also be available on your company Intranet site.
2. Complete the Employee section of the form and send it to the ALS Association, Greater Philadelphia Chapter along with your donation or, if you’ve made your donation online, simply complete the form and mail it to:
   
   The ALS Association, Greater Philadelphia Chapter
   Attention:  Erin Farrell
   321 Norristown Rd, Suite 260
   Ambler, PA 19002
   or fax it to: 215-643-9307
3. We will complete the form and forward it to your employer’s matching gifts office for processing.  The company will send its matching donation directly to the ALS Association, Greater Philadelphia Chapter.

The ALS Association is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and donations are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. 

Some companies disburse matching gifts on a quarterly or yearly schedule.  To reduce administrative expenses, we will not forward a notice to employees when matching contributions are received.  If you ever have a question about your company’s matching donation, please contact your matching gifts office or human resources department.
