matching gifts

How do I submit a request for my gift to be matched?

Many employers match the charitable contributions of their employees. This is a great way to supplement the money you are giving to a participant or peloton. To begin this process, you will first need to determine if your employer accepts matching gifts. Utilize the search tool below to locate your employer to get more information on their matching gifts program. If you do not see your employer listed in the search tool, we recommend looking on your employer website. If you locate your employer and choose to submit a matching gift, please submit it under Pelotonia’s Tax ID # 82-4997087. You must direct the matching gifts to Pelotonia using the address below:

Pelotonia 2281 Kenny Rd, Suite 450, Columbus, OH 43215

Phone: 614-221-6100

Tax ID #: 82-4997087


How long will it take for a matching gift to be processed?

The matching gift submission, verification and disbursement process can take an extended period of time and varies by company. Some companies will approve and pay out a matching gift request quickly after the submission date, and others may take up to a year. It is important for you to familiarize yourself with your company’s matching gift policy and procedures so that you understand when Pelotonia is likely to receive the funds, as this can affect the non-binding fundraising commitment of the participant you are supporting. We encourage you to apply for your matching gift as soon as possible.
