MATCHING FUNDS



Hello ICS Parents,

Thank you so much to all families who have donated to ICS PTSA!

Our school year-end is approaching! A gentle reminder to families who have donated volunteer hours and/or $: Please submit your donation matching to International Community School PTSA 2 8 89 [Tax ID/EIN Number: 911801111].

Requesting a matching gift or volunteer grant is normally a five-minute process that must be initiated by you or your spouse, the donor/volunteer. You can do this by filling out and submitting through an electronic submission process or a paper match form provided by your employer.

If your company needs a donation receipt, you can send a receipt request to ICS PTSA treasurers (treasurer@icsptsa.org)

Many companies have matching gift programs. Some, such as Microsoft and Google, match gifts through an organization called Benevity; some do it on their own.

For questions regarding your company's matching programs, please contact your employer's HR or community giving department. Much of the necessary information may also be available on your company's intranet.

If you have any questions, please email matchfundadmin@icsptsa.org

Thank you!

HELP OUR ZEN DEN!



Zen Den is creating a safe and cozy space for students to chill out. Working with our counseling team, the students request these 3 items to make the room a perfect place for when they need a mental health break.

1. Bookshelf (2.5''X1'', wood finish preferred)

2. Storage basket for blankets (medium sized, big enough for 1 regular blanket +2 weighted blankets)

If you happen to have an item like those that you could donate, it would be much appreciated. Please respond to president@icsptsa.org with a photo of the item!
