Employee Contributions & Matching Grants

Last year, Starbucks provided a matching grant based on the number of hours their employees volunteered in 6 Stones events.  That turned out to be a $1,000 check!

American Airlines added 6 Stones Mission Network to their American Giving program.  American Giving provides a way for the 20,000 local and 60,000 national and international employees of American Airlines to allow payroll deductions to the charity of their choice. 

Another individual who works for a large company recently submitted 6 Stones to participate in his company’s Volunteer Involvement Program.  Participants volunteer at least 20 hours then a $500 grant is awarded to the designated nonprofit organization.  This organization offers a maximum of $5,000 per year in Individual Grants, in addition to the $10,000 maximum for Team Grants.

Is your employer involved in Community Giving?  Check and see if 6 Stones can be added as a designated nonprofit organization at your company.  6 Stones contributions cascade right back into the community through Community Powered Revitalization, HEB Operation Back-2-School, Night of Wonder, and more.
