What is an employee giving program? How does it work?

Employee giving allows employees to donate to nonprofits they care about. Many companies choose to support their people by matching their donations to the same organizations. An employee giving program may also be combined with volunteering and community investment programs for broader impact.

How do I get started with a giving program?

More and more companies see the benefits of having an employee giving program. It starts with making a business case to your company leadership about why an employee giving program matters and how it can be a boost for business, culture and employee retention.

Should my company offer matching?

Corporate matching is a powerful incentive for your employees to donate their own funds. It amplifies the impact for the nonprofit they're choosing to support and it also lets them know that you support them making a difference in the world. Many companies include donation matching as part of their package of employee reward or benefit programs.
