Workplace Giving
Lots of companies encourage their employees to get involved in their local communities! In addition to making a donation directly from your paycheck, you and your colleagues can spend a day volunteering for Sister Schools or host an informal Lunch and Learn to share Sister Schools’ mission with your office.
If you are interested in getting your workplace involved in Sister Schools, please reach out to Executive Director Ella McGill at ella@sisterschools.org.
Microsoft
If you or your spouse work at Microsoft, then your donations of time, treasure, and talent can all support local and Ugandan students. Microsoft makes it easy to donate directly from your paycheck, either one-time or on-going.
Whether you give through payroll deduction or directly to Sister Schools, Microsoft will match 1:1 for every tax-deductible donation made – that means that when you get caught up in the moment and pay $500 for an item valued at $100 during our annual gala, Microsoft will match the $400 over fair market value!
And did you know, that if you volunteer your time at Sister Schools – in the boardroom, on a committee, or sorting donations in the warehouse – Microsoft will actually pay Sister Schools for your time? For every hour you volunteer, Microsoft will donate $25!
