This program doubles your charitable contributions to DHSC or turns your volunteer hours into a monetary donation. You can search if your employer offers this program, using the tool above. Be sure to submit your employer matching request within the same calendar year; most companies have a 12/31 deadline.
Volunteer Support Programs, sometimes called “Dollars for Doers” or Individual Volunteer Grants, essentially reward employees who donate their time to Dartmouth Middle School or DHSC. Guidelines and amounts vary with each company.
