Charity Match Program

AWS and SMI recognize the important role charitable, nonprofit organizations play in the communities where we live and work. Through our Charity Match Program, we’re proud to support employees in giving back. The program provides a dollar-for-dollar match on employee donations — from a minimum of $25 to a maximum of $250 per employee, per calendar year — effectively doubling the impact of your contribution to the causes that matter most to you!

​How it works:

1. Make your donation (be sure to keep your receipt!)
2. Complete and submit the form below to request a company match.
3. We’ll review your submission and let you know once it’s approved. If approved, we’ll send the matching donation directly to the organization.
