Multiply Your Donation Through Workplace Giving
At Roosevelt Alumni for Racial Equity (RARE), our mission is to champion racial equity and justice in our communities. One powerful way you can support this mission is through workplace giving. By leveraging your employer’s matching gift program, you can significantly amplify your contribution and make a more substantial impact on our work.
What is Workplace Giving?
Workplace giving programs are corporate initiatives that encourage employees to donate to nonprofit organizations. Many companies offer to match donations made by their employees, effectively doubling or even tripling the contribution. This means that your support for RARE can go twice as far, making a greater difference in promoting racial equity.
Why Support RARE?
RARE is dedicated to creating an equitable environment where all students, regardless of race, have access to opportunities and are treated with fairness and respect. Your donations help us:
- Develop Educational Programs: We create and fund workshops, seminars, and programs like Connections, which helps students build supportive, safe, and thriving communities.
- Support Students: We provide $5,000 scholarships to Roosevelt graduates attending college with help from the James Davis Memorial Scholarship Fund.
How Can You Participate in Workplace Giving?
- Check with Your Employer: Many companies have matching gift programs as part of their corporate social responsibility efforts. Ask your HR department to see if such a program exists.
- Donate to RARE: Make a donation to RARE directly through your employer’s giving platform or our website.
- Submit a Matching Gift Request: Follow your company’s procedure to request a match for your donation. This often involves filling out a simple form and providing proof of your donation.
