2012 CO-OP Financial Services Miracle Match Program

Thank you for your interest in the Miracle Match program from CO-OP Financial Services! Please read the guidelines below prior to completing an application.

Miracle Match Eligibility and Guidelines

Eligibility:

  • Miracle Match is open to all credit unions, chapters and leagues in the United States. Since program funds are limited, preference is given to credit unions that are members of CO-OP and to chapters and leagues that have one or more CO-OP member credit unions.
  • Events must be a one-time event or three months or shorter to be eligible. For events that are longer than three months, please specify a three-month window in which you would like your event to be matched for (for example, “May 1st through August 1st”).
  • The same event can be matched for two years in a row. After two years, we encourage you to apply for Miracle Match with a new event.
  • You are now eligible to receive matches on multiple net-new events within the same calendar year. This means you could receive a match on one signature (old) event, plus a match on an unlimited number of net-new events. A net-new event is defined as an event that you have not done before for CMN. Please note: a separate application is required for each event.
  • Fundraisers that CO-OP currently sponsors are not eligible, such as golf tournaments, auctions, etc., regardless of the amount of the sponsorship.
  • Acceptance into the Miracle Match program is at CO-OP’s discretion and may be revoked at any time. Submission of an application does not guarantee acceptance into the program.

Guidelines and Deadlines:

  • Your application must be submitted to CO-OP before the date of your event and by September 30.
  • A separate application must be submitted for each event. Multiple events cannot be submitted in the same application.
  • Chapters and leagues must provide the names of every credit union that will participate in the event.
  • If selected for the program, CO-OP requires that the Miracle Match logo be present on all marketing materials for your event. The logo will be provided to you. If the deadline to place the logo on collateral has passed, CO-OP may provide signage to be placed at your event instead.
  • If selected, you must submit a post-event report to CO-OP within two weeks after your event. For events in December, you must submit the report by January 3. If all post-event documents aren’t received by CO-OP by these dates, your match will be forfeited.
  • CO-OP is now accepting applications for 2012 events starting October 1, 2011.

Application Period:

Applications for 2012 fundraisers may be submitted at any time between October 1, 2011 and September 30, 2012. After September, we cannot accept any additional applications. You may apply for a 2013 event beginning October 1, 2012.

We encourage you to submit your application as early as possible to ensure there are enough funds available to match your event.

Accepted organizations will be notified in late January, April, July and October.

I certify that the information contained is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I also certify that I have read and will comply with the guidelines of the 2012 Miracle Match program. Finally, I understand that submission of this application does not guarantee acceptance into the program for a match.

The Miracle Match program receives a large volume of applications each year. In Section II, please be detailed in describing your event so we may evaluate how your event will fit within the goals of the Miracle Match program.

You will need to specify the date (beginning and ending) and name of the event. If your event is more than three months in length (or ongoing), you will need to select a specific three month window within 2012 that you would like to have considered for a match.
