Verizon Matching Gifts


Double the Donation helps nonprofits increase revenue by providing technology and resources to take advantage of matching gift programs at companies like Verizon.

Through Verizon's Volunteer Incentive Program (VIP), the company provides grants to nonprofits where employees volunteer on a regular basis.

After Verizon employees volunteer 50 hours with an organization in a year, Verizon provides a volunteer grant of $750 to that organization.

Each Verizon employee can request up to two separate $750 grants each year as long as 50 hours have been volunteered with each organization.

Note: While Verizon's matching gift program is open to retirees, the volunteer grant program is only available to current employees.
