[Board] Microsoft donation matching

[Jonathan Kunkee]

Hi all,

I noticed the tweet about corporate matching being set up, but I haven't
gotten a notification from the matching system that it's done. Checking
using the EIN, it agrees--ORI still isn't set up for matching with
Microsoft according to the internal donation matching form.

Do you know if there's anything particular I need to do to send a match? I
know my niece's marching band uses a 3rd party donation processor that
shows up as a different entity.

Thanks,
Jon
