Matching Gifts
Wimmer Solutions supports our team members in their personal philanthropy through our charitable gift match program, which helps to make a greater impact on the issues, causes, and organizations our team members care about.We match, dollar for dollar, up to $1000 USD per calendar year in contributions each of our employees makes to eligible 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations while employed with Wimmer Solutions. Our program is designed to support the breadth and diversity of giving among Wimmer employees by investing in a wide spectrum of organizations, even if their work does not fall into our three focus areas.Please read our full program guidelines below before requesting a match.
