Volunteer Matching Program
Intel Retiree’s skills and energy bring great value to our communities. For retirees that retired under one of Intel’s formal retirement programs, Intel increases the value of your volunteering by donating $10 for each hour you volunteer to most non-profit 501(c)3 under the Intel Involved Volunteer Matching program. This is the same program provided to Intel employees. Retiree hours are added to employee hours to determine matching grant amounts.
Hours can be reported any time using your Benevity account, but all must be reported by December 15th, 3 pm (PST), of the current year. No current year volunteer hours performed after this deadline are eligible for matching. Volunteer hours performed in the following year can be logged after the program reopens at the beginning of January. Note: Intel involved volunteer hours must be logged to a specific cause to get volunteer matching.
- Details on how to report hours to a specific cause are found here

If you have a question about reported hours or a specific non-profit’s grant status, contact retiree.volunteers@intel.com. The IRO Volunteer committee is in contact with the Intel folks that manage the local and general volunteer programs. If you have general questions or recommendations about the Intel Involved Retiree benefit, please send them to our mailbox.
The current Volunteer Matching Payout Report shows volunteer matching funds payouts for both Intel employees and retirees.
