FAQ

What is Corporate Match?

Corporate match or match funding or match giving is a way to maximize the fundraising efforts of your donors. Many companies pledge to match donations to approved non profits and US Schools year-round. Some companies also pledge time and resources enabling their employees to support a cause during their working week. 

There are upper limit and criteria applied to these matches.

How to get started?

To check if your company supports corporate match or match funding, please check your company website or with your employer. Companies differ in the process of applying for a match.

How to request for a match?

Depending on your company policies, apply for the match funding once you’ve donated or volunteered hours at the approved organization. 

This has to be done within a certain duration of donation or volunteering date.

Some companies allow you to make donations through the approved website of their choice too, so you don’t have to separately upload the receipts of donation.

Most companies allow you to upload receipts of your donation if these organizations are already listed with them.

If the organized is not listed with your company, ask your employer about the process to nominate your organization to the approved list.

When will the Organization receive the match?

The organization will receive the match once your company processes and approves your match request.

Explore the Arts and Express Yourself

For 50 years, National PTA’s Reflections program has helped students explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.

Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response a student-selected theme. The theme for the 2019-2020 program year is Look Within. Students submit their completed works of art in one or all of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts.

Student winners from the local level have the opportunity to move up through their district, region, council and state PTA programs to the national level. National Reflections winners are celebrated annually at National PTA's Convention & Expo in June.

Every year PTSA congratulates the graduating class and their families by hosting a ceremony followed by a dessert reception at a church during the last week of school.

It is a beautiful ceremony for the seniors in their graduating gowns. FHS Choir fills up the space with soulful music. Selected teachers and students give speeches about their priceless experience in 4 years at FHS. The whole ceremony surely brings mixed emotions of graduating from the beloved school.
