Matched giving & company support
Whether you work for a small local company or a large multinational organisation, companies can be a very good source of raising funds.
- Try and get an article in your company newsletter or magazine highlighting your marathon challenge and asking for donations. The Asthma UK Events Team can give you any information you may need for this.
- Customers and suppliers of your company can also be a great source of support for the Marathon.
- If you are planning to approach clients do check with your employer first.
- Remember to include your email address and your extension number in any requests for sponsorship.
- Put a collecting tin on the reception desk - a lot of people pass through and it's amazing how quickly the pennies will add up!
Matched giving
If your company operates a matched giving scheme, they may consider matching whatever you raise in sponsorship from your marathon challenge. You may require a receipt from us of your total amount raised in order to claim the donation.
