Google matches up to $12K in charitable contributions per employee.
It used to be $6K, but during one of the weekly all-hands, an employee asked if it could be raised (to match the recent pay raise that was happening at that time). Two days later, it was doubled to $12K.
- latch 15y agoSomething about your comment got under my skin. My first response is, "so what?" However, I'm not sure what the purpose of your comment was. I read it to say "Google is not only $2K/employee more charitable, but also much quicker to act on this sorta stuff." But there'll almost always be someone who donates more and who reacts quicker...we could probably find a company that matches $13K, and $14K and 15K...but we aren't gonna list them all, are we? I guess I'm just missing the point/value of your comment and I'm assuming the worst (which really isn't all that bad when I think of it :) I need computer break..bbi30
