Your volunteer time and donations can have an even bigger impact!
Many companies offer volunteer grants or matching gift programs to encourage their employees to give back to their communities. These programs allow companies to acknowledge and support the valuable time and donations their employees dedicate to the charitable causes they care about.
Volunteer Grants
As a volunteer fundraiser, you may be eligible for a volunteer grant through your employer. Volunteer grants are offered to company employees (typically including retirees) who have volunteered for a set number of hours within a 12-month period – this includes hours dedicated to raising awareness and funds. The company offers these grants to registered charities as a donation.
Matching Gifts
Many companies have a gift/donation-matching program that will, in some cases, double the charitable contributions made by their employees. That means your donation can have a bigger and better impact on fighting poverty.
