Volunteer Hours = $ for EFC


I worked at Microsoft for 5 years back in the day.  It was a great experience.  One of the hallmarks of the company is that they've always been a strong supporter of community involvement.

For those EFC members who work at Microsoft, you're probably aware the company just kicked off it's annual giving campaign. Part of the campaign reminds Microsoft employees that the company will match with money, volunteer hours worked. 

As part of the Microsoft Volunteer Program, if you put in a minimum of 10 hours for a non-profit organization, Microsoft will send that organization $17 for every hour you work. You just need to document your time in the internal MS web tool.  Microsoft will match your volunteer time up to $12,000 per year as part of your overall employee matching gifts benefit.

If you're interested in volunteering for EFC, and trust me we can use the help, send me an email and we'll get you plugged in.  Thanks to volunteer Jeff Sullivan for bringing this to my attention.
