Nonprofit donation matching at top tech companies?
Microsoft matches 100% of my donations up to $15,000. That means my yearly donation impact can reach $30,000 with match. I do a lot of charity work, so this is a huge benefit. Especially considering that I can donate highly appreciated stock awards to private foundations and avoid capital gains tax. What do some of the other top companies offer in this regard? I’m especially interested in Facebook, Google, Amazon, and others...
Facebook doesn’t match anything.
Google matches up to 5k, I think
It’s $6k
Amazon doesnt match anything
Damn
#Amazon is 0% - coming from Microsoft it was a huge disappointment.
Google is $6,000.
Facebook is a disappointment.
Dropbox matches up to $1k. A 15k match is really impressive. Huge props to msft for doing that
Yahoo matched 100% up to $1000. Not sure how it changes with the Verizon acquisition
Why bother saying 100%? They will match 1k, period.
Some matching programs will match less than 100%. For example some 401(k) programs will match 25% of your contributions up to a certain amount.
Hilariously EFF, GNU, and men's rights and other anti "diversity" charities (read: pro equal rights charities) are approved for matching
Anti diversity? Like what?
And what’s wrong with EFF and GNU?
They offer the additional $15,000 in your income so you don’t depend on donation benefits
