How to request a Microsoft match

Microsoft will match charitable donations and volunteer hours up to $15,000 per year per employee.
Below are some details on how you can request a match. These instructions are current as of Nov 2017.

The matching system is run by Benevity. Donations done directly through the Benevity system (either
one-time or automatic) are automatically matched and no further action is required. You only need to
request specific matches for donations done directly to the PTSA and for volunteer hours.
