CORPORATE MATCHING GIFTS

Companies of varying sizes support Pivot through a range of giving initiatives. These charitable initiatives are hallmarks of a socially responsible organization. Corporate involvement can enhance an organization’s reputation, increase brand recognition, help to attract quality employees, and increase retention.

We want Pivot members to get their employers and companies involved. If you donate to Pivot, you can ask your place of work if they will match your donations to Pivot. Many companies will do this dollar for dollar or will match a percentage of their employees’ charitable donations.

You can find out if your employer has a corporate donation-matching program by speaking with your Human Resources Department. Hundreds of companies big and small already have an corporate donation-matching programs to show that they care about their employees and communities. Companies that already have these programs include Telus, Public Outreach, Starbucks Canada, Nature Valley, Johnson & Johnson and thousands more.

If your company does not have an corporate donation-matching program, propose one! It’s very easy and most employers are receptive to the idea of getting involved with initiatives and causes that their employees care about. Here is a letter draft that you can use to help you ask your employer to match your donations to Pivot.
