Matched Funding
Could Your Employer Help Double Our Fundraising?
As part of our Centenary celebrations, Glyn School has launched an exciting fundraising campaign to support the redevelopment of the Priest Hill Sports Pavilion. We are asking parents and carers to help us explore one of the most effective ways of boosting our fundraising efforts: Employer Match Funding.
Many organisations offer Match Funding, Matched Giving or Employee Charity Giving schemes, where employers match money raised by their employees for registered charities. As Glyn School is a registered charity, this means that donations or funds raised through school events could potentially be doubled at no additional cost to those who donate. These schemes are particularly common amongst:
- Banks and financial institutions
- Insurance companies
- Accountancy and professional services firms
- Supermarkets and retailers
- Utilities companies
- Telecommunications providers
- Pharmaceutical and healthcare companies
- Technology companies
- Manufacturing and engineering firms
Even if your employer is a smaller local business, they may be willing to support our fundraising efforts through a matched funding arrangement. We encourage you to check with your HR department, employee benefits team or line manager.

How You Can Help
- Check whether your employer offers a Match Funding, Matched Giving or Employee Charity Giving scheme.
- Ask whether they would consider supporting a school fundraising event, donation or volunteering activity.
- Let us know if your organisation has a scheme that could support our Centenary campaign.
If you think your employer may be able to help, or would like to discuss Match Funding opportunities further, please contact Karen Jones at K.Jones@glynschool.org.
Every additional pound raised will help us create a modern, safe and inclusive sports pavilion that will benefit current and future generations of Glyn students and the wider community. Together, we can make an even greater impact and create a lasting legacy for Glyn School's 100th year.
