Do you or your spouse work at AMD or Spansion? AMD and Spansion have both donation and volunteer hour matching for its employees and spouses! Their Employee Giving Program, which includes Matching Gifts & GIVE (Grant Incentives for Volunteer Efforts), matches employees' contributions of time and money to approved nonprofit agencies and schools, at $15 per hour up to $3,000 per employee per year (combined program cap). If you give a financial contribution or volunteer in your child's class or for the school in general, this is a huge benefit to Clayton.
