| Intel Foundation Matching Gifts to Education & Volunteer Matching Grant Program |
The Intel Foundation matches the time that Intel employees and retirees spend giving back to our schools with a cash donation. For every 20 hours that Intel employees spend volunteering for our schools, the Intel Foundation will match those hours with a grant of $200. The volunteer hours of all Intel employees at each school are accumulated to determine the total annual grant for that school. It's that simple.
Private, as well as public, schools are eligible. They must be legitimate, tax-exempt, non-profit schools that meet the IRS regulations and must not practice discrimination. Volunteer activities that do not qualify for the matching grant include: fund raising events; coaching athletic teams; attending parent club meetings or parent-teacher conferences; and religious instruction.
Intel Computer Clubhouse, Intel Oregon Information Center tour guides, Web Wizards, Intel Computer Clubhouse Mentors, and CREATE programs also earn Volunteer Matching Grant dollars for participating schools.
A form must be filled out and returned by June 30th of each year

The objective of the Matching Gifts to Education program is to encourage employees, employee spouses, and directors of Intel Corporation to make personal contributions to support education. The program is funded by the Intel Foundation. The program includes retirees and spouses.
The contribution must be a personal gift of check, credit card or stock (FMV on date of donation) by the eligible donor. It must be a personal gift, from the donor's personal funds, which has been paid and not simply pledged and must be made directly to the approved organization. Gifts must be verified by the recipient (the school) on the Matching Gift form submitted to the Intel Matching Gift program.
Intel Foundation will match qualified employee contributions to any accredited school (generally recognized academic accrediting board) in the United States that is either
Four year college or university (must be a degree-granting school)
Technical or community college
K-12 school (elementary or secondary, comprehensive, full-time school)
School or university foundation (must have 501(c)(3) status with IRS)
PTO's, PTA's and other support organizations for K-12 schools (must have the 501(c)(3) tax status).
Both publicly funded and private nonprofit independent schools are eligible. All schools that are not publicly funded must have status under Section 501(c)(3) of the tax code.
Matching Gift requests must be received by the Program within one year of the date of the gift.
