Why Veterans Day matters for veteran giving
Veterans Day donations frequently come from corporate matching programs (Microsoft 1:1, Apple 1:1, ExxonMobil 3:1) — your gift can be doubled or tripled by your employer. Many companies also run Veterans Day employee-giving campaigns through Benevity, YourCause, Cybergrants, and Bright Funds. Recommend Wounded Warriors EIN 86-1336741.
