Double Your Impact:

Turn Your Donations and Volunteer Hours Into Cash for Our School!

Did you know that your financial contributions and your volunteer time could be worth twice as much to our school? Many local and global companies with a major Seattle presence — including Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing, Google, Starbucks, and Expedia — offer matching gift and volunteer programs that match employee support at no extra cost to families.

Whether you make a direct donation or log your volunteer hours, your employer can help fund our students, classrooms, and community events!

Double Your Donations with Matching Gifts

Many employers will match your financial donations dollar-for-dollar (or more).

How it works: When you give to U Co-op, log into your company’s HR or benefits portal, search for "Matching Gifts," and request a match using our school’s Tax ID.

Turn Your Volunteer Hours Into Cash with Volunteer Grants

Your time is just as valuable as a financial donation — literally! If you volunteer for field trips, help in the classroom, or serve on our board, your company might pay our school a cash grant for every hour you give.

How it works: Companies like Microsoft pay $25 per hour and Salesforce pays $10 per hour directly to schools where their employees volunteer. Track your hours and log them into your workplace corporate giving portal (like Benevity) under "Volunteer Grants" or "Dollars for Doers."
