Check Donations and Matching Gift Information

Check Donations

Check donations should be made out to SHOE4AFRICA and should be mailed to the address below. Be sure your donor includes their email so we can send them a tax receipt and make sure your name is in the memo line of the check (or on a note if it’s a cash donation) so we can attribute the donation to your fundraising pledge.

SHOE4AFRICA,
Church St. Station,
Po Box 3142
New York, NY 10008


Matching Gifts

Matching gifts must be received by the fundraising deadline and can only be counted toward your fundraising total when SHOE4AFRICA receives the donation. If your company is requesting specific documentation please email us at team@shoe4africa.org with your request. Please note that disbursement cycles vary by company: please contact your HR administrator for more information on when they remit the donation.

The matching gift process is detailed below:

  1. Make Your Gift (If donating via check, please make them out to SHOE4AFRICA, with your name and event in the memo line.)
  2. Contact Your HR Department (Every company is different. You may need to complete an online or paper matching gift form.)
  3. Company Contacts SHOE4AFRICA (Generally a company will reach out to our team here at SHOE4AFRICA asking us to confirm your gift)
  4. SHOE4AFRICA Confirms the Gift and Approves the Match (Remember to allow several weeks for processing by the company.)
  5. Company Sends Matching Gift (Check distribution cycles, vary for each company. Companies should use the address listed above. Once SHOE4AFRICA receives the match, it will be added to the participants page).

Should you have any questions, please email us at team@shoe4africa.org
