These campaigns select eligible causes that have been vetted by Intel and Benevity. Donations to campaigns can only be made through the Benevity site and NOT directly to the cause and later submitted as a match request. Campaigns typically last for 2 weeks or until the campaign matching cap has been reached. Some campaigns have had their matching caps increased if the matching cap has been reached in only a few days
- Campaign notifications are emailed to IRO members & posted in the IRO Facebook group. The notice contains a link to the Benevity posted campaign. The posting describes the crisis, lists included causes, provides time frame, explains the matching cap, and gives a link to the donation form. The posting also indicates if the campaign has been expanded to employees worldwide or limited to the U.S.
- Campaigns have their own matching caps & deadlines. Unlike Disaster Relief Campaigns, matches will usually count toward the donor’s annual $10,000 cap. Donors who have already hit their annual $10,000 matching budget cap may still donate directly to any of the listed causes or through Benevity, but donations will NOT be matched by the Intel Foundation
- Donating to the main campaign will split your donation equally among the causes in the campaign. If you would like to donate to a specific cause, click “view cause” within the campaign, then donate to that cause separately
- All special campaign rules apply during the campaign. After the campaign is over, donations to the specific causes revert to normal donation guidelines
