Apple Launches Program to Match Charitable Giving By Employees

Posted September 8, 2011 at 4:58pm by iClarified
Apple has launched a new matching gift program for charitable donations by its employees, reports MacRumors. The program was announced by Tim Cook in an internal email. Currently, it's U.S. only but there are plans to expand to other countries over time.

Team:

I am very happy to announce that we are kicking off a matching gift program for charitable donations. We are all really inspired by the generosity of our co-workers who give back to the community and this program is going to help that individual giving go even farther.


Starting September 15, when you give money to a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, Apple will match your gift dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000 annually. This program will be for full-time employees in the US at first, and we'll expand it to other parts of the world over time.

Thank you all for working so hard to make a difference, both here at Apple and in the lives of others. I am incredibly proud to be part of this team.

If you'd like more information on the program, you can get it on HRWeb, which can be easily accessed through AppleWeb.

An Apple spokesperson has confirmed that the program is in place. Interestingly, this program comes just after former CEO Steve Jobs was criticized in the press for his lack of public philanthropy.
