That is awesome, Ori!
@Board, see below – Ori is the Israel chapter leader, and that’s about 3.5K USD from Microsoft, just for his volunteering.
I think Benevity is a brilliant program, please make sure anyone you know at these companies are aware of this!
@Andrew van der Stock, do you think even just before the holidays, we can do a bit of push for this, so everyone who works at these companies will get their hours filed before end of year and we don’t leave substantial money on the table? Maybe even ask @Stacey Ebbs to push out a pre-holiday post?
Happy holidays!

Hi Andrew
And also Avi for board visibility
Happy holidays!
I wanted to thank you for adding OWASP foundation to the Benevity nonprofit companies pool, Microsoft gracefully gave employees the opportunity to match volunteering hours!
I would like to echo that on top of my volunteering time this year, I could leverage Microsoft Give portal to match the hours and I got to donate ~11000NIS (1 additional request is pending approval)
Hope more employees did it, I know I spread the word internally
Ori
