Employee Matching

Charitable Matching and Volunteering

Many organizations in Houston encourage employees to participate in charitable giving by matching employee contributions to educational institutions and cultural organizations.

Do you know that when you join the Powell PTO, donate to the PTO or volunteer to the PTO, your employer will match your contribution, in some cases up to 200% matching.

You can double your impact and stretch your dollar (even your PTO membership fees). It cost you nothing other than 3 minutes of your time to help your child at Powell.
