cook1e Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Woo Hoo! Great News, I applied for matched sponsorship funding from my employer Vodafone and I've just had a mail confirming that my application has been approved. Vodafone match any sponsorship raised up to £350.00! So that's another £350 raised by team "Flying Log", it will get paid direct to Macmillan rather than through my just giving page so I've shown it as an offline donation for now.Anyone else who works for a big company it's worth checking if they have any similar schemes as I know a lot of companies do this....

yorkshire_spam Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Applied for my 25% from Capita yesterday, don't find out until the Charity/Funding board meet later in the month though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshire_spam Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Managed to extract £58 from my employer as a match (partial) contribution. But they paid it direct to Macmillan (So is not visible in mine or the club's figures) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cook1e Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 My company also paid Macmillan direct, however I've let Tim know so that it can be added to the grand total when the presentation is made at the awards dinner. Just drop Tim an email with the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutty Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Unfortunately my employer wont give to any charity that involves animals. Talking to a friend of mine who is a fund raiser for Guide dogs said that this is not an uncommon problem. They have said I can send an email to my colleagues so I hope to pickup some more sponsorship.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cook1e Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 I'll be applying for a match again this time from my Employer, Vodafone. It has to be done after you've raised the money and they may match up to £350. No Guarantee as the application goes to a board who decide which applications get the money each quarter ( 3 months) as there is a finite amount of money to give out, it has to be with a charity on their system so hoping Guide Dogs is one of the listed charities. Definitely worth trying again as they paid out last time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cook1e Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Well good news, got my matched funding from Vodafone got approved so that's another £350 to add to the grand total. It gets paid direct to Guide Dogs by the Charity Aid Commission so won't be attributed obviously to the RBRR so Tim will need to separately add to the grand total, I've mailed him to let him know.
