Verizon employees have pledged more than $590K through the Verizon employee Disaster Relief Matching Gift Program - Haiti. Under the program, which ran through January 31, the Verizon Foundation provided matching of employee donations dollar for dollar, up to $1,000 per employee, to two nonprofit organizations, World Vision and Food for the Poor that are providing aid in Haiti. In addition, the Verizon Foundation awarded two grants of $50,000 each to World Vision and Food for the Poor.

The Disaster Relief - Haiti employee matching program is now closed; Verizon employees may continue to request a match for their donations to eligible nonprofits through the foundation's Matching Incentive Program.
