Come one, come all…Tuesday, May 3rd is the day- Silicon Valley Gives Day!
It’s a 24-hour giving bonanza created to benefit charities throughout Silicon Valley. Beginning in 2014, hundreds of local nonprofits benefited from the first-ever event, raising $15.8 million to date.
For the third consecutive year, Symantec will match the first $10,000 in donations given on svgives.razoo.com to philanthropic partner Techbridge Girls. Techbridge supports after-school activities for girls inspiring them to discover their passions in science, technology, and engineering. Since its founding in 2000, over 4,000 girls have participated in the after-school and camp programs.
Furthermore, Symantec employees can triple their impact to Techbridge by donating on Silicon Valley Gives and applying for Matching Grant funds on the company's internal giving platform the GivingStation.
Come visit representatives from Techbridge Girls at our Mountain View headquarters’ E Café between 11:30-1:30pm on Tuesday.
Anyone can participate!
With over $4 million in matching grants sponsored by SVGives supporters, there are several opportunities to double or triple donation dollars. For example, the Skoll Foundation is matching the first $50,000 raised during the 9am and 5pm hours, and Microsoft will be donating an additional $1,000 to 20 non-profits who fulfill their matching grants for SVGives.
Please join Symantec and the Silicon Valley community for this exciting chance to double or triple your impact on our local community!
Symantec will participate in the 24-hr SVGives event on Tuesday, May 3rd to raise much needed funds for philanthropic partner Techbridge – because there is an engineer in every girl!
