Matching Funds for DESEF - Disney Elementary Education Foundation
Thank you for your efforts to take advantage of your Employer’s Corporate Matching Programs. 
Because of you, we have already received over $11,000 in matching funds for our school!! 
If you have not submitted a request to your employer, it’s not too late! 
It is very simple to submit your request and begin the corporate match process. 
Please see below to review submission request options: 

  • Go to Corporate Matching website on your employer’s intranet to begin the process. Remember to enter DESEF’s EIN number, 20-3046825, when submitting your match 
  • Visit the Matching Gifts website and search to get all the details specific to your company 
  • Contact your HR department 

You should be able to use the order receipt email from FutureFund as proof of your Annual Fund Drive payment. 
Please note that only the DESEF contribution should be submitted for a match. The DESEF contribution should not be combined with your contributions to Walt Disney Elementary School or the PTA. These organizations, which have different EINs than DESEF, would need to be separately requested and matched by certain employers. 
Note: Corporate Match requests must be initiated by the employee. You may contact me if you have any additional questions.
