“Hours for Volunteer Grant” Program through employers:

These are corporate giving programs created to encourage volunteerism in communities where employees live and work. Through these programs, companies provide monetary grants to organizations where employees volunteer. Almost half of all Fortune 500 companies offer matching grants for employee volunteer hours. These Employee Volunteer Programs, commonly called “Dollars for Doers,” offer organizations anywhere between $8-20 per hour volunteered. This number is amplified when groups or teams from a corporation volunteer at your nonprofit organization together. Some companies even offer dollars for hours volunteered by retirees!

Employer Matching Gifts:

Many companies not only encourage their employees to give to and volunteer time to nonprofits in their communities, but also will match those efforts with dollars and other means of support. Employee Matching Gifts are donations an employer makes to match its employees’ charitable contributions. Employee matching gifts often are dollar-for-dollar, but some companies will give double or even triple the original donation.

Workplace giving programs can be set up in a variety of ways. Some of the more popular workplace giving programs offered by corporations are:

• Employee Matching Gifts

• Volunteer Support Programs

• Donations through Payroll Deduction

• Annual Giving Campaigns

For example, when an employee participates in a walkathon or other type of fundraising event, their employer may match the money they raise through sponsorship or other donations.

Guidelines and amounts vary with each company. Typically, individuals must submit forms to their employers. They usually can get more information about their matching gift benefits from their human resources department.
