MATCHING GIFTS
Does your employer provide matching gifts for donations you make? If so, you can double the impact of your gift to the Jacksonville Public Schools Foundation. Since the Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, we are qualified to receive matching gift donations. Please contact Leslie DeFrates at [email protected] if you need more information, or to inform her of the portal that your company uses to process matching gifts.
