Ask your human resources department if you can contribute to EESI through convenient, budget-friendly payroll deductions. Most private-sector employers and state, local, and federal government employers offer workplace giving as an option—and an employee benefit! If you are a federal employee, federal or military retiree, or member of the military, you can designate EESI for a contribution through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). Our CFC number is 10627. EESI is a member of Earth Share, a workplace-giving federation for environmental nonprofits such as EESI.

 

Ask your employer if it matches charitable donations. You may be able to easily double the impact of your gift. Today, over 65% of Fortune 500 companies (and many others!) offer matching programs to employees, including:

Amazon Coca Cola Google Salesforce.com
Apple Dell IBM Target Corp
AT&T  Ford Microsoft Verizon
Bank of America General Electric PepsiCo Wells Fargo
