Double Your Impact

Many businesses have corporate philanthropy initiatives that reward an employee’s charitable contributions. Companies often match the gift or volunteer hours of the employee and in some cases even double or triple it!

“We are so very grateful for the opportunity you offer us to serve the community. All of you are welcoming, generous, and purpose driven.”
