Millie’s Dollars for Doers program makes it easy to reward employees for their volunteer time with charitable dollars. Once you’ve configured your program settings, Millie will automatically send gift cards to employees when their volunteer hours are approved.
You can personalize the gift card message and even choose a pre-designed card—or upload your own custom design.
How to Set Up
- Navigate to Dollars for Doers in your admin settings.
- Configure the following:
- Donation per Hour Volunteered
- Annual Cap Per Employee
- Annual Company Cap
- Customize the gift card message and image that employees will receive by email after gift issuance.
How It Works
- Employee volunteers—either through a Millie-hosted event or at an external opportunity.
- Hour Tracking:
- If the event was created on Millie, hours are automatically recorded and sent to the Pending tab on the Tracking page after the scheduled end time.
- If the event was not hosted on Millie, employees can log hours via the Volunteer tab, or admins can log them in the Tracking section.
- Admin reviews hours and either approves or restricts them on the Tracking page.
- Gift card processing:
- Once approved, volunteer hours are converted to a charitable gift amount based on your Dollars for Doers settings.
- Gifts are processed in a weekly batch every Wednesday, and the total amount is charged to your company’s designated payment method.
- Gifts are delivered:
- Employees receive a Millie gift card via email to donate to any nonprofit on the platform.
- The gift card is also added to their Millie wallet if they have an account.
- Note: These Dollars for Doers gifts are not eligible for a match.
