The tech giant and its employees have been loyal supporters since 1988
Every year in October, Microsoft kicks off their annual giving campaign with employee volunteerism and fundraising. This year, Microsoft has surpassed a milestone of $10 million in contributions to the American Cancer Society, helping save countless lives and funding cancer research grants, programs, and services.
Microsoft’s payroll deduction and matching programs are one of the best in the country, with employee donations and volunteer time matched up to $15,000 per year per employee.
"Microsoft's contributions to the American Cancer Society, through funding and employee time, have been vital to the work that we do,” said Daniel Widner, our vice president of Regional Distinguished Partners. “Microsoft's giving model allows for great impact through innovation and involvement across the nation. We are grateful for every employee who has helped us achieve our mission"
This year, Microsoft and ACS will promote a joint project—Notes of Hope—where employees create handwritten notes of encouragement and well wishes to cancer patients staying at one of our Hope Lodge facilities, as well as contributing $25 an hour in volunteer match.
