FOR SALESFORCE EMPLOYEES ...
Can the World Cancer Day
Solidarity Challenge count toward my VTO/Volunteer Time Off goals?
Yes, your fundraising time for UICC.org and #WorldCancerDay
can be counted for VTO *provided you remember to do so in Volunteerforce.
FOR PLEDGE 1% COMPANIES ...
Will my company match donations
that I make to Ohana riding teams?
That depends on your company's specific policies and
processes. Most PLEDGE 1% companies do.
For example,
Salesforce.com has a standing policy that supports the matching of
employee donations to 501c3 charitable/nonprofit organizations up to
a certain limit. Employees just need to submit a verified donation
receipt and Salesforce will issue a matching donation directly to
the nonprofit. Again, certain rules and limits apply. It is best to
check with your company in advance. All that considered, matching
donations are a key way for us all to support the global fight
against cancer. Please be sure to make this part of your team and
fundraising strategy.
ABOUT DONATIONS ...
What if I am in another country
and my donors don't use U.S. currency?
NO PROBLEM! While TEAM SALESFORCE OHANA will track overall
team and rider progress in U.S. dollars, your donors can select and
make donations in their local currencies using your team fundraising site.
What is the 501(c)3 Tax Identification Number for Union of International Cancer Control (UICC.org)?
UICC.org's EIN is 23-7208844
