How to Donate Through Your Employer’s Matching Program
When giving to Bold.org through an employee matching program, you have two options:
Donate Directly on Bold.org & Submit for Matching
Donate Through Your Employer’s Giving Portal
Option 1: Donate Directly on Bold.org & Submit for a Match
You can donate directly on Bold.org and then submit your donation to your employer for matching. This method offers faster processing and allows your donation to make an immediate impact.
Credit Card Donations: Your gift will be applied to a scholarship immediately upon checkout, making this a great option for time-sensitive scholarships or funds.
ACH Donations: Funds will be processed within 5-7 business days.
Once your donation is complete, you can submit a matching request through your employer’s portal using Bold.org’s details:
Organization Name: Bold Foundation
EIN: 84-2719715
This option is ideal if you want your donation to have an immediate effect, as your gift will be processed quickly, and you can add the company match later.
Option 2: Donate Directly Through Your Employer’s Giving Portal
If your company uses platforms like Benevity Causes, CyberGrants, or PayPal Giving Fund, you can make your donation directly through your employer’s giving portal by selecting Bold.org as the recipient using our EIN: 84-2719715.
However, it’s important to note that donations made through platforms like Benevity can take longer to process. In some cases, it may take up to 90 days for Bold.org to receive the funds. This delay is due to the processing times required by these platforms.
Key Differences Between the Two Options
Donate Directly on Bold.org & Submit for a Match:
Donations are processed and applied to scholarships more quickly.
For credit card donations, your contribution will be immediately available for scholarship publication.
Submit your donation to your employer after completing the transaction on Bold.org for faster fund disbursement.
Donate Through Employer’s Portal (Benevity, CyberGrants, etc.):
Donations may take up to 90 days to reach Bold.org.
Both your donation and the company match arrive together but with a longer delay.
Whatever you choose, we're here to support you. Feel free to contact us at donors@bold.org if you need assistance creating any projects or designations. As long as you include the scholarship or fund in the notes, we’ll ensure your designation is received.
