> volunteering for an organization is matched in cash by Microsoft, to the tune of 20-something an hour.
I've never heard of a policy like this before, but I like it a lot (admittedly I've been mostly in academia). Is this unique to Microsoft or more common?
- hirsin 5y agoGoogle does this at 10/hour as well. Unsure of others. Both Google and Microsoft match cash donations too up to 15k/year - it's a wonderful perk to have after you've basically covered all your living expenses and savings etc. I can eg fund a minor scholarship at half cost, or direct serious money to a cause I care about.
- CrazyStat 5y agoYeah, I've heard of matching monetary charitable donations before but this is the first time I've heard of matching volunteer time with money. Thanks!
