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 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:
-
50% of the company match will be credited directly to the family’s account, further reducing their registration or season fees.
-
50% of the company match will be allocated to MVLA San Jose, supporting the general operational needs, programs, and fundraising efforts of the club.
-
Example:
​
-
If a family donates $1,000, and their company offers a 100% match (through Benevity), the family’s total contribution will be $2,000.
-
The family will receive $1,000 credited toward their registration or season fees.
-
The remaining $1,000 will be split, with $500 credited toward the family’s account, and $500 going to MVLA San Jose. This would mean the family would receive $1500 of the $2000 total donation
-
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. The 50/50 split will be applied consistently across all donations and matches.
​
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.
