Charitable Donations Policy

Summary

This template is a charitable donations policy that governs employee and employer donations to charitable organizations, including employee solicitations and requests for donations, employer matching gifts, and volunteer leave time. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, and optional clauses. This template is intended for private employers. Employers may include this policy in an employee handbook or distribute it as a standalone policy. This charitable donations policy is based on federal law. It does not address all potential state law distinctions and, thus, you should check any relevant state and local laws. For a wide variety of annotated employment policies and employee handbook guidance, see Employee Handbook Resource Kit. For information on issues regarding tax-exempt charitable organizations, see Exempt Organizations: Navigating I.R.C. Section 501(c)(3).
