Are you ready to Share the Good? Are you ready to put your money – and National Life’s – where your values are? Well, your opportunity is coming!
Many of you may not remember, or may not have been here for, these annual campaigns. So, before this year’s launch, we thought we’d reacquaint you with the program.
Share the Good is where employees and retirees can donate money directly to their favorite nonprofits. If you choose to participate, your donation will come out of your paycheck all at once or throughout the year.
And here’s the cool part: The National Life Group Foundation will match each and every dollar you donate – anywhere from a single buck all the way up to $2,000.
What? Seriously? Double your dollars? Oh, yeah, that’s right, friends. You can not only Share the Good. You can Double the Good!
Last year we collectively pumped more than $610,000 into good causes chosen by our employees and retirees.
The annual campaign runs throughout November, from the first through the 30th. It’s nice that during the month of Thanksgiving, we can give some tangible thanks to charities that do so much good in the community.
Not sure who you would choose to donate some of your heard-earned money to? Well, there’s a growing list of the nonprofits your colleagues have supported in the past. Just choose one. Or two, three or four. If you don’t see your favorite nonprofit on the list, you can add it.
Not sure how much money to donate? How about giving $10 to one group, $10 to another and $25 to a third? That’s a total of $45, which becomes $90 after the match from the Foundation.
The amount you give isn’t really all that important. It’s the fact that you give and help support hunger relief or environmental causes or civic programs that’s important. It becomes cliché to say that every dollar makes a difference.
But sometimes these things become cliches because they happen to be true. This is one of those times. There are so many worthy causes that figuring out how to help can be really daunting. This isn’t. It’s super easy.
If you’ve got questions, shoot an email to the giving team at giving@nationallife.com.
We just wanted to give you a heads-up that the campaign is coming so you can think about which nonprofit you’d like to support. And when the form goes live, we’ll be sure to let you know.
