A note to Microsoft Parents
To get time matching for your volunteer hours follow these steps:
1. Go to http://give/givetime/Pages/GiveTime_TimeMatching.aspx (using a computer logged to Corp network)
2. Click the Volunteer Connection System button (it’s green, on the right side of the screen). This would send you to https://microsoft.cybergrants.com/microsoft/volunteer.
3. The first time you use it you must request a password for your MS alias. They will send you the password by e-mail to your corporate e-mail account.
4. Once you have your password (it might take a few minutes), use your alias and password to log on.
5. After you log on, click Record volunteer hours on the left navigation menu. You can search for RICHARD BENNETT PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION, or simply search for Bennett and select the appropriate entry from the list. Click Log Hours and enter the start and end dates of your volunteer activity, and the total number of hours volunteered.
6. At the end of the matching process, you can make a Program Designation, i.e. what you prefer your matching dollars be spent on by the PTSA, which the PTSA will of course honor. Alternatively, if you want to let the PTSA board decide what has the greatest need and let them steer the matching dollars, you may designate "unrestricted", or "use where the need is greatest".
Please note that Microsoft matches time only once every quarter, so it may take a few months for the organization to receive the money from Microsoft.
Any questions you have on Microsoft Matching for monetary donations or volunteer time can be directed to Brian Daugherty
