Project Details
BAE Systems provides employees with the opportunity to make financial contributions through its Payroll Donation and Matching Gifts Programs.
Through BAE Systems Payroll Donation and Matching Gifts website, employees may give to organizations they care about.
The Matching Gifts Program was developed to encourage and support the generosity and community involvement of employees. Since its inception, the Program – through both company and employee contributions – has provided significant financial support to charities across the country including United Through Reading.
Each year, over 100,000 military parents are deployed leaving behind nearly 250,000 children at home. With a conservative 6-month deployment, these children have 180 nights without their parents at home to read them a bedtime story. That’s 40 million missed bedtime stories each year by military children. United Through Reading is working to close this 40 Million Story gap and ensure that every military child can reap the benefits of storytime with their far-away parent.
The unhurried, focused time service members spend with their family while recording a favorite book benefits everyone in the family, not just the children. The caregiver at home doesn't feel so alone, the children have one on one time with their deployed parent and the service member is reassured knowing they are still very much a part of life back home. The impact of your donation is truly multiplied with every bedtime story recorded!
