Background:

Microsoft provides unrestricted, volunteer grants to educational institutions and non-profit organizations where its employees volunteer on a regular basis. Microsoft employees who volunteer can request a grant of $25 per every hour volunteered. These types of volunteer grants have been designed by companies as a way to encourage community engagement among their employees. Microsoft employees have volunteered at Samuel Tucker Elementary as individuals and in groups in a variety of capacities – helping build the school’s new community garden and supporting in the classrooms and school activities like Heritage Night. |
