Discover pledges up to $500,000 for Hurricane Matthew relief
RIVERWOODS - Discover Financial Services is pledging up to $500,000 to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Matthew relief efforts through a cardmember donation matching program.
For every cardmember who donates to the American Red Cross using their Cashback Bonus, or by making a donation with their Discover card, Discover will match those donations dollar-for-dollar up to $500,000. Discover is also waiving the transaction fees on all credit card donations to the American Red Cross for the immediate future.
Discover also will be matching employee donations to the American Red Cross dollar-for-dollar through their Employee Giving Program.
"Hurricane Matthew has created an urgent need for assistance in Haiti, the Bahamas, and the U.S.," said David Nelms, Chairman and CEO of Discover. "Our cardmembers and employees share a strong interest in supporting relief efforts and providing a means of doing so will help make their donations go further and assist more people."
