Dear Divine Family,  

Earlier this year we started the process of getting the Global Hospital & Research Centre trust registered on the Benevity giving platform.

Nandita Giri, a sister working with Microsoft in the US, was instrumental in starting this. She was inspired by the fact that Microsoft matches every donation (100% match) by its employees to NGOs registered with Benevity. So if she contributes $500 to GHRC, Microsoft also pitches in with $500.

The registration was done by July and over the last two months, we have tested the system through to receiving money in our FCRA account. It is working well. Nandita has made two test donations, which have been matched by Microsoft, and the money has been duly credited in our FCRA account.

We have learned that the Benevity giving platform supports close to 1000 companies/brands but we don't know whether all of those companies match their employees' donations 100% or to any extent at all. Sadly, Benevity is unwilling to make the full list public. Some of these companies are:
Levi's, Merck, Prudential, VISA, UPS, GE Appliances, John Deere, Lenovo, Hootsuite, Cupertino Electric, Instacart, Allscripts.

I thought of letting you know this in case you feel it is worthwhile to inform your students who may want to contribute to GHRC. Matching grants would help increase the flow of funds. People may also find it easier to donate via Benevity than to have to go through the hassle of remitting funds telegraphically.
