Title: Part-Time Apple Employees Now Eligible to Participate in Charitable Matching Program Post by: HCK on January 26, 2012, 11:00:26 pm Part-Time Apple Employees Now Eligible to Participate in Charitable Matching Program
One of Tim Cook's first acts when he became CEO of Apple was to institute a charitable matching program for employees. Under the program, Apple would match employees' personal contributions to 501(c)(3) charitable organizations up to $10,000 per year. However, the program initially only applied to US-based full-time employees. Now, it seems Apple has expanded the program to include part-time US employees as well, and covering international workers soon, according to a tweet from the Apple Retail Workers Union twitter account. As of November 2011, some two months after the program went into effect, Apple had matched $1.3 million in employee contributions, with the $2.6 million dollars donated in total.
