The objective of the Matching Gifts to Education program is to encourage employees, employee spouses, directors of Intel Corporation, Retirees and their spouses to make personal contributions to support education. The new Intel Foundation Matching Gifts to Education Program website lets you quickly and easily report a donation and request a matching grant online, whether you’re connected to the Intel network or not. Effective January 1, 2009, any gift given in 2009 will be matched at 50% of the gift amount rather than a 1:1 match up to $5,000 per year.
