San Francisco Village is operationalizing love for elders thanks to supporters and volunteers like you! Your contribution of time, talent, and resources make our work possible. Did you know that many employers offer volunteer grants and matching gifts that will amplify your contribution? Volunteer grants are corporate giving programs that encourage volunteerism where employees live and work. Through these programs, companies provide monetary grants to organizations where employees regularly volunteer. If you are supporting our community with a financial donation, your employer may have a matching program that can double or even triple your impact! Search here to find out if your employer offers such a program.
How to use the search engine:
- Type in your employer’s name
- Scroll down to “Volunteer Grants.” If your employer offers a volunteer matching grant, follow the instructions in this section. SFV qualifies as a “Civic and Community Organization.”
Large corporations such as Google and Salesforce use the Benevity.org platform, while others may ask you to submit your request via their own website or by contacting the corporate email address listed. A note about Benevity, if given the chance, use this platform because it’s quick and easy to search for San Francisco Village!
As always, we are grateful for all the ways that you support San Francisco Village and our vision for building communities of belonging. If you have any questions, please contact Jessica Da Silva at jessica@sfvillage.org.
