Match An Employee's Donation To A Favorite Charity

Charities experience a surge in donations during the holidays as people give to those who are less fortunate or contribute to other charitable causes. Businesses can help those efforts through matching gifts. (Read more about corporate giving programs here.)

Corporate giving can also translate into good public relations, especially if you want to give prospective hires another reason to come aboard. According to the America's Charities website, 79 percent of people prefer to work for a socially responsible company, and 79 percent of employees think it's important that their companies match their charitable giving.
