Workplace Giving

Did you know you can support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) through payroll deductions, matching gifts, and through workplace fundraisers? Read on to see how you can bring hope to childhood cancer patients and their families through workplace giving.

Payroll Deductions and Workplace Giving Campaigns

Many companies allow employees to donate a set amount to be deducted automatically from each paycheck. Simply alert your employer that you would like to set up automated giving to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation through payroll deductions and they will guide you through next steps.

Some companies host donation drives or giving campaigns during a specific season or for specific causes.

If you are a federal employee or retiree, then you can set up payroll deductions through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) using code 82805 to designate your donations to ALSF.

If you are a state employee, then you can set up payroll deductions through your State Employee Combined Campaign. Each campaign will have a different code to designate your donation to ALSF.

If your company participates in the United Way Workplace Campaigns, you can set up payroll deductions designating Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) as your charity of choice. Each United Way designation code will vary by United Way regional office. If your local United Way Workplace Campaign does not list ALSF, then you can write in the following on your pledge card: Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation 333 E. Lancaster Avenue #414, Wynnewood, PA 19096

If you elect to have recurring donations come out of your paycheck at least once a month, then you get an automatic invitation to become part of our One Cup at a Time Club. You’ll receive special members-only benefits. Learn more about One Cup at a Time.

Matching Gifts

Many companies match employees’ charitable contributions, doubling (sometimes even tripling!) the impact of a gift to ALSF. Here’s how the process works:

1. You donate directly to ALSF, through payroll deductions, or through your employers’ donation program.
2. You submit a “matching gift request” to your employer. Each company has a different process for submitting requests. You can search your employer’s name using our company search tool below to determine the next steps. If your employer does not come up, talk with a human resources representative at your company about how they manage matching gift requests.

3. Your employer will likely reach out to ALSF to verify your donation before approving the match. Some employers don’t require verification.
4. Your employer sends a matching gift!

*Some employers offer Volunteer Match Programs. Check with your employer’s Human Resources department to see if your volunteer hours will be matched with a monetary donation.

Other Ways to Give Through Your Workplace

Charitable Grants: Some companies allow their employees to make recommendations for charitable grants from the company/corporate foundation. If your company allows this, please, ask if they would consider awarding Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation with a charitable grant from their company/corporate foundation.

Workplace Fundraisers: There are many ways to get your workplace involved in a fundraiser benefiting Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Learn more about Employee Engagement and Fundraising Events.
