Twitter Launches Employee Volunteer Hour Matching Program
(Twitter Launches Volunteer Hour for Matching Volunteer Services)
SAN FRANCISCO, [Date] – Twitter announced a new program today. The program matches employee volunteer hours. This initiative is called Twitter For Good Hours. It aims to increase community support. Twitter employees already volunteer. Now, their efforts get amplified.
Employees can volunteer at eligible nonprofits. They choose causes they care about. Examples include food banks, schools, and animal shelters. Employees track their volunteer time. They submit these hours through an internal system. Twitter verifies the hours with the nonprofit organizations. Then, Twitter matches the hours volunteered. The company provides a matching grant. This grant is based on the hours logged. It goes directly to the nonprofit where the employee volunteered.
Twitter commits to matching up to 16 volunteer hours per employee each year. This policy applies globally to all full-time staff. The goal is straightforward. Twitter wants to encourage more employee volunteering. It also wants to boost the resources going to vital community groups. The company believes in supporting local communities. Employees often have personal connections to these groups. This program strengthens that link.

The matching grants offer real help. Nonprofits receive extra funding. This funding depends directly on employee participation. More volunteer hours mean more money for the cause. Twitter sees this as a practical way to make a difference. It leverages employee passion for giving back. The program starts immediately. Employees can begin logging volunteer hours now. Twitter expects significant participation. The company hopes other businesses notice this model. It could inspire similar programs elsewhere. Community organizations welcome the additional support. They rely on volunteers and donations. Twitter’s program addresses both needs effectively.
