Matching Funds--More Bang for Your Buck!
Make your
generous donation worth even more.
Many companies give employees an
opportunity to support the United Way through payroll deductions, and you can
designate some or all of your gift to go to the AEF by writing us in:
Avon
Education Foundation, P.O.
Box 548, Avon,
CT 06001-0548
(860)
673-2495
EIN
20-0944178
Employers often match the gifts
their employees make directly to non-profit organizations, too, and some match
donations by spouses/domestic partners and by retirees. A number of companies
will even “match” volunteer hours with dollars as well. These programs go by a
variety of names. See some examples by
clicking
here. To support innovative educational programs in Avon,
check with your employer and your spouse’s to see if they will match your gift
of money or time to the Avon Education Foundation.
