Workplace Giving Plan


Check out your workplace giving plan. You might be able to have more of an impact than you realized.

Here's what some employers offer:

Payroll deductions

Consider contributing to World Vision through payroll deduction. It’s an easy, effective and efficient way to give.

Corporate matching gifts

Call 1-877-WV-MATCH, or learn more here.

Companies match their employees’ gifts to World Vision in a variety of ways:

> Child sponsorship

When an employee is a World Vision child sponsor, some companies contribute to World Vision’s general child-care fund in the same amount as the sponsor’s commitment.

> Cash

Hundreds of corporations match one dollar (or more) for every dollar their employees donate to designated charities.

> Products

Certain businesses allow employees to purchase company products, such as software, at a discount and donate the items to designated charitable organizations. The employer then gives the charity a "matching" gift in the amount of the product’s cash value, resulting in twice the benefit.

> Gifts of stock

Many companies match gifts of securities that their employees give to World Vision. As with cash donations, these contributions generate a tax deduction for the individual as well as the company.

Ask your Human Resources Department about these options.

"When giving stock that has appreciated in value, I can honor God by sharing my prosperity with people in need and receive a great tax benefit as well. My company’s matching gift of stock helps World Vision even more."
