If you submitted a match request with your company for your donation, then they’ll reach out to VeloSano to confirm the gift. From there, your company will process the request, send VeloSano the matching funds and we will credit the matching gift to your Personal Fundraising Page upon receipt.
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 find out your company’s matching gift policy and procedures so that you understand when VeloSano is likely to receive the funds, as this can affect the fundraising commitment of the participant you are supporting.
We encourage you and your donors to apply for s matching gift as soon as possible to ensure your funds have the best chance of arriving before the October 15, 2025 fundraising deadline.
NOTE: If your company does not match gifts until after the October 15, 2025 fundraising deadline, notify us at velosano@ccf.org. It’s possible that these funds will not be received prior to the distribution of VeloSano dollars to advance cancer research at Cleveland Clinic and therefore cannot be credited until Bike to Cure in 2026.
Matching gift funds must be received by VeloSano by Sunday, October 15, 2025, to count toward a participant’s fundraising commitment.
