A few supporters have been giving to Daylight in creative ways. Contributing through their workplace and AmazonSmile, Ben and Lynda are growing their gifts.

Longtime supporter, Ben Barnhart, shares how giving through his employer has doubled his contribution to Daylight:

“I had supported Daylight for a year or so before I started working at Medtronic, and when I joined the company I was excited to learn that one of the benefits of working there was that they would match my charitable giving. I loved that my gifts would support Michael and Nathan and the work that Daylight does; that my company would kick in a matching gift was icing on the cake.

I arranged to have my giving deducted from my paycheck (which makes it easy for me to safeguard that pledge), and then I applied to have Medtronic match the gift. It was as simple as clicking a button on the website that Medtronic uses to handle charitable gifts. If I remember correctly, I had to confirm that Daylight’s work was primarily nonsectarian, even though the organization is religious. Now every paycheck, my gift comes out directly, and Medtronic matches it 100%. It’s the easiest way I know to stretch my giving dollars a little farther.”

Lynda Lee is a new supporter to Daylight. A way that she has been able to give is by using AmazonSmile.

“I am thrilled that my daily tasks include an opportunity to give. It makes me happy that I can support the bright minds in Kenya at Daylight.“
