Thank you for your generous support of Compassion's ministry to the world's children in need! Did you know that the Microsoft Matching Gifts Program, through which you can donate software, can make your contributions go even further to help release children from poverty?
This special program, through which Microsoft matches employee contributions with software donations, has made a huge impact on our ministry. It has provided us with valuable tools that allow us to be more effective in the work that we do.
Take a look at our wish list.
We've put together a new wish list (PDF) that details our current urgent software needs. You can select one or more of these items, up to the total amount of your contributions to Compassion, and request that Microsoft donate those items to our ministry.
Whether you contribute to Compassion through monthly sponsorship, recurring donations to a specific fund or a one-time gift, your contributions of any amount are eligible for matching software donations.
It's easy to request a software donation today.
A little time is all it takes to make a big difference in the lives of children around the world. Request a matching software donation today! Just follow these three simple steps:
1. Start with the wish list.
Review Compassion's software wish list (PDF) and decide what software items you want to request that Microsoft donate to Compassion as matching gifts for your contributions. The list is sorted by priority.
2. Request a software donation.
Visit our Compassion-specific MS Donation page or go directly to Microsoft Web site http://give. On the Microsoft page you will find frequently asked questions with current information on the Microsoft donation program and the online donation tool itself. The step-by-step form is easy to complete and takes only a few minutes of your time. Microsoft will see that your matching gift selections are shipped to Compassion.
3. Tell Compassion about your requested donation.
After you have submitted your software donation request through the Microsoft online donation tool, notify Compassion of your donation so the wish list (PDF) can be updated and donations won't be duplicated.
