Donor Impact

Employees around the world want to be able to respond and have impact when they see a disaster strike or learn of a colleague's hardship. Through tax-deductible donations to an employee relief fund, employees can contribute and support each other directly, while nurturing a deeper sense of community and camaraderie, whether they are across the desk or across the globe.

In many cases, organizations launch an employee relief program with an initial donation, and then grow the fund through peer-to-peer fundraising - meaning employees and leaders of an organization donate funds to help their fellow colleagues who have fallen on difficult, unexpected times.

For those looking to donate, there are many ways to participate in giving to your organization's program. Some popular ways are:

• Company matching incentives year-round or during major events (e.g., natural disasters)
• Contributions to individual disaster campaigns
• A percentage or flat amount donated from each paycheck through tax-deductible payroll deduction
• Convert unused paid time-off (PTO) into dollars that can be used as a contribution to your employee relief program
• Cash donations are only one way of funding your employee relief program. We can help you convert a wide range of liquid and illiquid assets to power your relief efforts. Our parent organization, Foundation For The Carolinas, has extensive experience working with corporate and individual donors to make an impact through gifts of private business interests.
