Get Involved: Hand in Hand Program

CHOICE designed the Hand in Hand donation program specifically for your employees.

CHOICE believes that everyone has the desire to help our less fortunate world neighbors, but sometimes helping is too difficult.

We make it simple.

Your employees will be given the opportunity to donate three, five or ten dollars per paycheck as a tax-deductible donation - with no effort on their part. This money goes directly toward supporting village projects.

CHOICE sets up the program.

You become an active global citizen.

THE PROGRAM

CHOICE WILL:

Present the program information to your employees.

Work with the accounting department to set up the charitable donation system. Provide quarterly updates of accomplishments.

Offer expedition opportunities to visit project sites.

YOUR COMPANY WILL:

Approve an employee payroll deduction option.

Have the opportunity to match employees' donations.

Allow CHOICE to send quarterly accomplishment updates to your company and employees.

WHY DONATE?

CHOICE Humanitarian is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping villagers in impoverished third-world countries to better their lives. This program offers companies and their employees a clear and open expression of their commitment to a better global community.

We govern our programs on the principle of "teaching a man to fish" rather than "giving him a fish." We help villagers construct schools, health clinics, water systems and many other projects. By working alongside villagers and passing our knowledge to them, we teach them self-sufficiency and self-development.
