Online Matching Gifts Process
If a company has an online matching gift process, the donor must complete the matching gift process through the company's database. It is very important that the donor designate Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure™ as the recipient of the matching gift (with the recipient address of 205 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 2640, Chicago, IL 60601), not Susan G. Komen for the Cure® generally or any Susan G. Komen event or affiliate other than the Komen Global Race for the Cure event. If the gift is not designated to the Komen Global Race for the Cure with the address listed above, the Komen Global Race may not receive the funds and the participant will not be credited with the matching gift.
If Komen Global Race for the Cure is not listed as a recipient in your employer's matching gift database, then you will need to nominate the Komen Global Race for the Cure as a matching gift recipient. Please use the following information when nominating the Komen Global Race for the Cure:
Komen Global Race for the Cure
205 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 2640
Chicago, IL 60601
Tax ID # 75-1835298
Org website: Globalraceforthecure.org
Important note for donors processing matching gift forms online: If the matching company has an online matching gifts process, the donor must note the name of the participant he or she is supporting and the location of that participant's event on the form (e.g., Sandra Runner, 2012 Komen Global Race for the Cure). There is typically a line titled gift designation or purpose or notes on the online matching gift form where this information may be provided. Providing this information is required for the appropriate participant to receive credit for the matching gift.
Paper Matching Gifts Process
Once the donor has obtained a matching gift form from their employer or matching gift program coordinator, the donor must complete the employee/donor section. (If your company matches, you may be able to access the forms directly through the search function on the Matching Gifts page.) It is very important that the donor designate Komen Global Race for the Cure as the recipient of the matching gift, not Susan G. Komen for the Cure® generally or any Susan G. Komen event or affiliate other than the Komen Global Race for the Cure event. The address listed for the Komen Global Race should be: 205 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 2640, Chicago, IL 60601. Once the donor has completed his/her section of the matching gift form, she should write the participant name, ID number and Komen Global Race in the upper right hand corner of the form, make a copy of the form for her personal records and mail the form along with a copy of their donation receipt to the following address:
Komen Global Race for the Cure
205 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 2640
Chicago, IL 60601
Processing Time for All Matching Gifts
It can take up to 5-6 weeks for the Komen Global Race to process a matching gift request. Once the matching gift request has been processed by the Komen Global Race, it will be posted on the My Progress page of the participant's Participant Center, under Donation History. The donation type will be listed as "offline unconfirmed." To view the donor name associated with each matching gift, please visit the participant personal fundraising webpage where matching gifts can be viewed on the scrolling honor roll.
