Ways to Give

Employee Match Program

Encourage your employees to help support Solar One’s critical work by promoting us as a Preferred Charity through your company’s matching gift program.

With an employee matching program, all donations your employees make to Solar One can be matched according to your giving program terms, helping to further our mission.

Your company can partner with us to host a “Lunch and Learn” event, where we’ll inspire your team with Solar One’s vision of building sustainable communities and fostering environmental education. In-person or virtual, these events offer your employees the chance to support local environmental efforts while learning about renewable energy, energy efficiency, and environmental equity.

This special matching gift opportunity, where your company can match any donations made by employees, can double your positive impact on the community.

Your company can support employees who give their time to causes they care about through our Dollars for Doers program.
