Volunteer Incentives

Grants or PTO

Your time makes a difference - and some employers make it go even further! Many companies offer paid volunteer days or donations tied to your service hours.

If your company is not listed, ask your human resources department if your employer offers a matching gift program.

When submitting a matching gift through your company’s electronic portal — or if your company still uses a paper form — you may need the following information:

Our EIN: 47-4543790

Our Mailing Address: 4100 Eldorado Parkway Suite 100-375 McKinney, TX 75070

What are volunteer grant programs?

Volunteer grant programs are corporate giving programs in which companies provide monetary donations to organizations where employees volunteer regularly. If you volunteer with us, it's an easy way to provide us with additional financial support!

What counts as volunteer work?

Activities eligible for volunteer grants may include:
- Event Volunteering
- Skill-based Volunteering
- Volunteer Committees
- Administrative Volunteering

How do I request a volunteer grant?

Requesting a volunteer grant is normally a five-minute process that must be initiated by the donor/volunteer. You can do this by filling out and submitting a paper match form provided by your employer or through an electronic submission process. Please search our database for company-specific information.

Are volunteer grants tax-deductible?

While your donation to a 501(c)3 organization is tax-deductible, your matching gift is not tax-deductible. Only your contributions are eligible for tax deduction. Each party involved (yourself and your employer) can only take deductions for contributions they directly made to We Defy Foundation.

What if I still have questions?

For questions regarding your company's programs, please contact your employer's HR or community giving department. Much of the necessary information is also available on your company intranet. For questions regarding submitting a matching gift to us, please contact us at info@wedefyfoundation.org.
