Giving Campaign
Microsoft and Microsoft Licensing, GP employees have long recognized the importance of the communities in which we work and live. We are leaders in the high-tech industry in making contributions to local communities. Microsoft Licensing, GP supports and encourages employee involvement and offers many opportunities for employees to make a positive impact.
Through the matching contributions program, Microsoft allows its employees to direct corporate contributions to thousands of nonprofit organizations working to improve lives in the United States and around the world. Donations that U.S.-based employees make to eligible nonprofits are matched dollar for dollar by the company, up to $12,000 each year.
Every year, Microsoft Licensing, GP dedicates the month of October to helping charities with our annual Giving Campaign. Events are held throughout the month. Each event is aligned to a specific nonprofit organization who receives all the revenues raised from that event plus a match of donations from Microsoft Licensing, GP. The annual Giving Campaign allows our employees to show their passion for building stronger communities.
In addition to matching employee financial donations, Microsoft Licensing, GP matches time that our employees volunteer in the community, donating an annually designated amount per hour to the eligible organizations they serve. It is our hope that this employee benefit will have a great impact in our local community, supporting our employees in their gifts of time as well as money for the organizations they serve.
