Microsoft Gives !!

Among all the bias against Microsoft’s market dominance and Bill Gates’ wealth, people forget to notice that how much Microsoft contributes to the community. I realized the fact only after working at Microsoft for some time. Microsoft matches dollar to dollar for any employee donation. That is if I donated a dollar to any organization or cause, MS will match it by one dollar and the total money going to the organization would be $2.

This year alone Microsoft US only has collected $64 million for different charity and community services. Microsoft SVC (Silicon Valley) with only 1200 full time employees has donated $1,764,089.00 just this year. In the company meeting we were told that in its life time Microsoft has donated more than $2.6 billion to the community.

Thanks Microsoft for caring.
