PROGRAMAS CORPORATIVOS DE IGUALACIÓN DE DONACIONES Y SUBVENCIONES PARA VOLUNTARIOS

¿Su empleador ofrece programas de igualación de donaciones o subvenciones para voluntarios destinados a organizaciones sin fines de lucro? ¡Si es así, puede duplicar (¡y a veces triplicar!) sus donaciones al PTO! Solicitar una donación igualada o una subvención por voluntariado puede ser bastante sencillo. ¡Contáctenos para obtener ayuda!

Las donaciones corporativas igualadas son contribuciones realizadas por una empresa a una organización sin fines de lucro que un empleado ya ha apoyado. Los empleadores suelen promocionar sus programas de igualación durante eventos como el Giving Tuesday (Martes de Dar), pero generalmente ofrecen igualación de donaciones durante todo el año. Sin embargo, pueden ofrecer mejores proporciones de igualación en ciertos días, por ejemplo, 2:1 en el Giving Tuesday.

Los programas de subvenciones para voluntarios ("Dollars for Doers" o "Dólares por Hacer") permiten a las empresas realizar donaciones monetarias a organizaciones sin fines de lucro donde sus empleados son voluntarios regulares. ¡Su tiempo como voluntario en el Fund Run, el Baile de San Valentín o la Semana de Arte y Ciencia también puede generar fondos para el PTO!

COMPANIES OFFERING MATCHING AND VOLUNTEER GRANT SCHEMES

The following companies are examples of those offering donation matching schemes to their employees. Does your company offer matching or volunteer grants? Let us know, and we can add information here to help other families.

3M

Annually Matched: $1 – $1,000
Match ratio: 1:1
Eligible employees: full-time, part-time

3M not only matches cash, checks, and online gifts, but it also matches securities exchanges, allowing for more flexibility and tax benefits for employees. They make payroll deductions simple so employees can truly automate their giving (and the match!). 3M also donates $20/employee volunteer hour, up to $500, per calendar year.

American Express

Matched: $25 – $8,000
Match ratio: Up to 2:1
Eligible employees: full-time, part-time

Though American Express typically matches gifts using a 1:1 ratio, they encourage more nonprofit involvement from employees. For example, if an employee serves on a nonprofit board or volunteers for more than 50 hours a year, the first $1,000 donated to that nonprofit will be matched at a 2:1 ratio.

Apple Inc.

Matched: $1 – $10,000
Match ratio: 1:1
Eligible employees: full-time, part-time

There is basically no minimum that needs to be met to qualify for a matching gift; if an employee gives just $10, Apple will match the donation. No minimum number of volunteer hours is required to qualify for a volunteer grant. Every qualified hour can be eligible for a $25 volunteer grant. Please make sure to read and follow all the policies and agree to the employee terms of use.

Bank of America

Matched: $24 – $5,000
Match ratio: 1:1
