FROM THE PTSA

ICS Matching Fund Information 

Welcome to the 2022 – 2023 school year! Thank you very much to those families who have donated to the ICS PTSA. Many companies have matching gift programs that will match the donated amount, and sometimes your volunteer hours as well.  

For questions regarding your company's 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. Microsoft and Google do matching gifts through an organization called Benevity; others do it on their own.  

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.  

Please submit your donation matching to International Community School PTSA 2 8 89 [Tax ID/EIN Number: 911801111].  

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

If you have any additional questions, please send email to an ICS Matching Fund admin at matchfundadmin@icsptsa.org. 

Thank you very much!
