Hello again from Eden & the guys in Seattle,
Gina posted a note in this morning's FML about matching funds programs to
help Bob out with his expenses over the Kodo dabacle. I'm fortunate to work
for a company with such a program, so I figured I'd zip off a quick answer.
Almost without exception, companies that do matching gift programs specify
that they only match contributions to 501c3 charitable organizations, so the
Kodo fund won't qualify I'm afraid.
However, a national ferret organization such as is being discussed, could
possibly incorporate as a 501c3 and be able to receive matching funds. The
only problem is that I think they then are restrictedin their ability to
contribute to political organizations and the like. Perhaps Jeanne Carley
could address this a little better since she's looked into this with regards
to CFL?
Matching funds are a great idea, but somewhat limited in their application
I'm afraid...
Eden and her 3 guys: Misha, Lemke & Bill (the human one)
