WORKPLACE GIVING
One of the easiest, most effective ways a company can support Tango Charities is by offering its employees the option to give at work.
Employees can support Tango Charities and become an ally in the fight to end hunger by giving via payroll deductions or Team Feed Corporate (see more below). Employee giving in combination with corporate matching gifts provides vital resources for people facing hunger.
Remember: Your gift of $1 helps provide at least 4 meals for people facing hunger.

Engaging Employees in Workplace Giving
Tango Charities offers three main options for workplace giving:
​
-
Payroll Deduction: An employer-sponsored program that empowers employees to support Tango Charities' mission with a tax-deductible donation given directly from their paycheck.
-
Team Feed Corporate: This self-service, peer-to-peer, online fundraising tool (coming soon) promotes competition and fun while supporting Tango Charities' work. This can be utilized for either short-term or long-term campaigns.
-
Matching Gifts: Many companies match employees’, retirees', and employees’ spouses’ charitable contributions on both monetary donations and volunteer hours. Knowing that donations will be matched is a powerful incentive for any donor because their impact is increased.
Show that you stand by your employees when it matters most by offering a corporate match of their gifts to Tango Charities.
Whether your HR and Finance team manages the campaign in-house or your company uses a technology platform, like Benevity, YourCause, or Cybergrants. Tango Charities makes it easy for your company to match employee giving. Completed matching gift forms should be mailed to:
