MVLA San Jose Fundraising and Company Match Policy
Purpose
The goal of this policy is to clarify the process for handling fundraising donations and company matches to ensure fair and transparent distribution while maximizing support for both families and MVLA San Jose Soccer Club.
​
Policy Overview
​
-
Family Donations:
Any donation made by a family member to the MVLA San Jose fundraising campaign will be fully credited to the family’s account. This means that after the initial $175, 100% of the amount contributed by the family will go toward covering their child’s registration fees or other applicable season fees.
-
Company Matching Contributions:
In cases where a family’s donation is eligible for a company match through programs like Benevity, the total company match will be split as follows:
-
The club will receive the initial $175 and the family will receive the remaining funds to be used toward the seasons dues.
-
If the donated funds exceed the family's total remaining dues, the remaining funds will be allocated toward supporting the general operational needs, programs, and fundraising efforts of the club.
-
Example:​
-
If a family donates $5,000, and their company offers a 100% match (through Benevity), the family’s total contribution will be $10,000.
If that same family is paying dues of $2000 for a specific season....-
The family will receive $2,000 credited toward their registration or season fees and will not be billed for the remainder of the season. The remaining funds flow into club general funds or a designated equipment/program fund.
-
The family WILL NOT receive funds over the amount of season dues. All funds will be used for the current season and will not roll over to the next season.
-
Transparency and Accountability:
MVLA San Jose is committed to transparent tracking and reporting of all donations and matching funds. Families will receive a statement showing both the amount of their donation and any matching funds received.
Eligibility:
This policy applies to all donations made by families eligible for company matching. Families are responsible for confirming their company’s eligibility and match terms through the Benevity platform or equivalent matching program.
