Dollars for Do'ers

Dollars for Doers Program:

As a member of the Foss family of companies, we are pleased to offer employees a Foss company matching grant to support your volunteerism efforts.

For each 15 hours volunteered with a nonprofit or school, Foss will provide a $250 cash grant to that organization.  

Employees may request two company Dollars for Doers matching grants each year for a total of $500.

Q&A:

Question:  Does the volunteering need to take place at the same organization or can I select the recipient organization after volunteering anywhere for 15 hours?

Answer:  We encourage to volunteer as desired.   The company match is intended to recognize a larger commitment of 15 hours of volunteerism to a specific organization.    

Question:  Does the 2nd match have to be to a different organization?

Answer:  No, you may qualify for a 2nd match to the same organization when 30 hours of volunteerism is reached.

Question: How do I submit the request for the match?

Answer:  After you have volunteered 15 hours, submit a request for the $250 match by clicking "submit request" above.  

Question:  How do I track my volunteerism hours?

Answer:  When you register with GIVINGtrax, you will see a link to record volunteerism hours.  If you choose to access the link from a mobile device, you are able to select the desired nonprofit and  "check-in" to start recording of volunteerism.  Simply "check-out" when you are done and the hours are automatically calculated.  If you do not have a mobile device, you may access GIVINGtrax to enter the volunteerism hours from any browser.
