Check with your employers - Some businesses not only do matching gifts for financial donations their employees make to non-profits (a great way to make your Friends of Scouting donations grow), but many contribute money to the Council Office in their employee’s name for the hours they volunteer. Those that we identified are Verizon, Merck, Colgate-Palmolive, and Exxon Mobil. If you work for one of these organizations, you just have to complete a form and depending on the employer, you can get anywhere from $500 to $2,000 donated to Scouting by your employer, just for doing what you already do. Please check with your employer to see if they have programs like these. |
