AF-USA Partners with Companies for their Employee giving program

10/5/2009 | Ayala Foundation USA

Some of the biggest and most prestigious names in the world of business are listing Ayala Foundation USA in their employee giving and corporate matching programs. Chevron, AmGen, Microsoft and PG&E are just some of the companies that have listed AF-USA as another vehicle by which their employees can spread the fire of volunteerism.

Employee giving programs usually include company matching for employee financial contributions, grants to non profits for volunteer time and company sponsored volunteer opportunities. When an employee donates to AF-USA and any of its causes, the company will match that donation. Microsoft, for example, has been instrumental in making David Dunleavy's dream of providing world-class quality cyber education to Gadgaran Leyte a reality. Dunleavy is the manager of Microsoft's Direct X Graphics-Gaming team. His donations have been matched by Microsoft, enabling David to reach more people in need!

When Typhoon Ondoy slammed into the Philippines last week, leaving more than 250 dead and over half a million individuals displaced, Microsoft Employees also sent in their donations to the Philippines through AF-USA. PG&E employees are also looking for ways to raise funds for the victims of the typhoon.  Now, with more companies partnering with AF-USA, more worthwhile projects will get added support, underscoring the crucial role that companies play in ensuring the success of social development initiatives.
