Volunteering Match
When an employee volunteers an hour of service to an approved organization, the employer matches it with a corresponding monetary donation to the same organization. Employees need to log their volunteer hours on their company's platform to obtain this match. All CRN volunteers can check if their company has such a program, and if so, they should log their volunteer time. This program does not require you to pay anything out of your own pocket; you only need to log the hours you volunteered for CRN on your company's platform, and the company will convert these hours into cash donations to CRN! Companies known to support this method include Airbnb, Apple, Google, Microsoft, PayPal, etc.
Employer Credit
Every year, employees receive a certain amount of money from their company on the company's donation platform, which can be used to donate to organizations supported by the employees. For employees of companies that have this program, this is a completely zero-cost benefit! You don't need to pay out of pocket or spend extra effort; you just need to donate the credit issued by the company to CRN through the company platform every year! Companies known to support this method include Google, among others.
Employee Donations (via Payroll or Other Payment Methods)
Employees can donate to CRN through their company's donation platform using their payroll (the most common method), credit card, PayPal, or other payment methods.

Donation Match
When employees donate to CRN through their company's platform, the company will match a corresponding percentage of the donation to the same organization. This matching typically has an annual limit.
