Follow the steps below to complete your matching gift form and prepare it for submission.
Step 1: Access the Barilla Matching Gift Form Online
Click the "Fill Out Form" button at the top of this page to open the Barilla Pasta Donation Request Form in FormsPal's PDF editor. The matching gift form will load in your browser with all editable fields highlighted. Use the zoom controls to enlarge specific sections of the form for easier reading and accurate data entry.
Step 2: Complete Part A of the Matching Gift Form
Part A is the donor's section and must be filled in before the form is passed to the recipient institution. Enter your full legal name exactly as it appears on your identification documents. Provide your current mailing address, phone number, and email address in the designated fields. In the contribution section, enter the exact amount you are donating and the full legal name of the nonprofit organization you are supporting. Double-check that all information is correct, as errors in Part A may delay processing during the quarterly review cycle. Apply your signature using the electronic signature tool to confirm the accuracy of your information and certify your eligibility for the matching gift program.
Step 3: Verify Recipient Organization Details
In the recipient institution fields, enter the complete name and mailing address of the qualifying nonprofit. Confirm that the organization holds a current IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status before submitting the matching gift form. If the organization has not previously participated in Barilla's matching gift program, it will need to provide a copy of its IRS determination letter along with the completed form. This requirement applies to schools, hospitals, charitable foundations, and any other organization new to the program.
Step 4: Download and Print the Completed Matching Gift Form
After entering all required information in Part A, use the download button to save the completed matching gift form as a PDF file. Print at least two copies: one for your personal records and one to send to the recipient institution. Attach your original contribution to the printed matching gift form and mail both items to the nonprofit's designated address. The institution's authorized officer will then review the submission, complete Part B, and forward the entire package to Barilla for quarterly processing.
Step 5: Track Your Matching Gift Request
Barilla processes all matching gift forms on a quarterly schedule. After the review period ends and eligibility requirements are confirmed, Barilla issues a matching check directly to the recipient organization. You will receive a written confirmation statement from Barilla once the matching gift has been disbursed. Keep a copy of this confirmation for your personal tax records, as matched contributions may be relevant for tax reporting purposes.
