We are excited to announce that SCC has been accepted to receive matching funds for donations and volunteer hours by Benevity! This means that if you work for a company that tracks their donations and volunteerism through Benevity, your donations and volunteer hours could be matched by your company. For instance, Apple tracks their volunteerism this way, so if you work for Apple, you can request a match for your donation; whether that’s time spent volunteering or funds you’ve given to support SCC. It does not mean that we have any type of partnership with a company that matches our donations or the company Benevity itself.

This is one of the ways we as a nonprofit can receive funding for projects throughout the year, such as stone moving equipment, decorations, and food for meals. Being able to continue to keep costs for our events as low as possible sometimes requires alternative methods of fundraising. We hope that this avenue of donations will allow us to continue the work we do as a community and also prepare us for the future of SCC. As always, our commitment as officers is to be as transparent as possible, so if you have any questions please reach out and let us know.
