Corporate Matching

Corporate matching is a way for companies to encourage philanthropy by matching employees' charitable contributions. They may also contribute funds based on the number of volunteer hours served by an employee.

As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, the EMS PTA qualifies for most corporate matching programs.  Here’s how it works: 

1. An employee donates to Eastern Middle School PTA, a qualified non-profit. 

2. The employee submits a matching gift request to their company, usually by completing an online or paper form, with proof of donation, through their office intranet 

3. The company verifies the contribution and makes a corresponding donation to the non-profit.  

Specific instructions can usually be found in the Philanthropy section of your company intranet or though the Human Resources department.

You may need to provide a company the following information:

• EIN#:  06-0994135

• Name of organization:  PTSA Connecticut Congress, doing business as Eastern Middle School PTA

• Address:  51 Hendrie Avenue, Riverside, CT 06878

• Contact email:  treasurer.ems@gmail.com

• Current Treasurer:  Katrina Sabeti

• Receipt showing donation amount: you will automatically receive one via email when you donate through the Membership Toolkit platform.  Keep this for your records. (note: PTA Membership has a value of $35. This amount is not considered a donation.)

We are grateful for your support and generosity. Your gifts enable the PTA to provide educational and enrichment programs for our students and teachers, and support the needs of our school community.  

If you have any questions, please reach out to the PTA Treasurer (treasurer.ems@gmail.com).
