Matching Gift Program

The Cadence Matching Gift Program, established in 1997, supports employees' interests and concerns by matching employees' personal cash donations to nonprofit agencies with Cadence corporate funds. In 2006, nearly 1000 Cadence employees in North America requested matching for their personal contributions in the amount of $262,000 to 537 different organizations, including arts and culture, K-12 and university education, environmental protection, animal welfare/rights, and health/human services initiatives.

Additionally, Cadence responds to regional and global disaster relief by setting up additional matching funds for employee donations to organizations providing relief services to affected areas. This program is made available to employees globally when appropriate.
