Workplace giving is easy and rewarding for everyone involved. A simple annual payroll deduction agreement allows employees to effortlessly support organizations working on issues of concern to them.

 

If Georgia Shares is offered as a choice in your workplace campaign, please contact our office to learn how to designate FSC, or another Georgia Shares agency, for your gift.

 

For more information on including Georgia Shares as one of your employees’ charitable giving options, please Georgia Shares at 404.844.6358 or email: wes@georgiashares.org.

 

Also, many employers offer matching gift programs where the company will match gifts their employees make to qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations like FSC. If your company participates in a matching gifts program, please contact us and we would be happy to provide needed documentation of your gift.
