Make Your Gift Go Further - Corporate Matching
Many companies will match tax-deductible contributions made by their employees and some will provide matching funds to support employee volunteer hours. Most of these programs match contributions dollar for dollar, and some will even double or triple the amount of your gift!
During the 2024-25 school year, Hardy students benefited from more than $5,400 in corporate matching donations. Your extra effort makes an enormous difference!
Your employer’s matching program may require the following information:
- Charity Name: Hardy Elementary School PTO
- Description of Charity: The Hardy School PTO strives to enhance our school community by providing enrichment opportunities that benefit the physical, mental, social, cultural and academic education for all children in the Hardy School district.
- Tax ID (EIN): 20-3201318
- Address: 52 Lake Street, Arlington, MA 02474
- Contact Email Address: fundraiser@hardyschool.com

If your company asks for a letter for matching gifts, please contact fundraiser@hardyschool.com and we’ll be happy to provide one. Thanks for your support!
