What is a Matching Gift and how do I apply?
Lots of companies offer a Matching Gift Program. It means when an employee makes a contribution to a non-profit organization, the company will match the same donation amount or more. If your company doesn’t have a Matching Gift Program, contact your human resources department about establishing one.

A donor is requesting a Tax ID number, what is it and how do I get it?
A Tax ID number identifies Have A Chance as a non-profit organization. Many donors request this number to validate their donation as tax deductible. If a donor is requesting this document, please contact us. We’ll email or fax it to you.

Can you provide a sample fundraising and thank you letter?
Yes. Both sample letters can be found under Forms and Posters.
