Prudential Matching Haiti Relief Program

Prudential to Match Affiliate Contributions for Haiti

Prudential Financial, after pledging $150,000 in earthquake relief for Haiti through the Prudential Foundation, has announced it will match affiliate donations made for Haiti through Feb. 26. Here are specifics:
• Funds must come from personal accounts, not company funds or accounts. Funds collected from friends and relatives cannot be submitted for matching.
• Donations of $25 up to $5,000 can be matched, per individual. Cash donations cannot be accepted.
• Each individual should write a personal check payable to "Prudential CARES Disaster Relief Fund – Haiti."
• Each check should have the donor's name and complete home mailing address.
For simplicity, affiliates are asked to gather contributions from their representatives and send them collectively to: Prudential Matching Gift Center, P.O. Box 7184, Princeton, NJ 08543-7184. Please also include a spreadsheet with your company name documenting each donor's first name, last name, email address and donation amount.

Donations can be tax-deductible. Those donating $250 or more will receive an acknowledgement letter that can serve as a receipt. Unless specifically stated otherwise, donations to this and other disaster-relief funds count against your annual limit of $5,000 in matching gifts.

A Prudential Financial Community Resources committee will select the specific disaster-relief organizations to receive the donations and matching funds.
