Volunteer Hours
Nike offers two Employee Rewards programs for nonprofit organizations: volunteered hours and matching cash donations. CYO clubs qualify to get a 2x match on cash donations!
*Note: the following non-affiliated CYO Clubs should contact their School Admin for information on matching opportunities: FMES, OES, Our Lady of Lourdes, Portland Christian, St. Andrew Nativity, St. Joseph Vanc., St. Rose - Longview, Trinity Academy, Valley Catholic, West Hills Christian.
Volunteer hours may be eligible to receive a $10 per hour reward, up to $2,500 per calendar year. Four Nike CYO coaches earned $1,000 each for their CYO clubs in the 2016-17 season!
- Create your account (for a first-time user) or simply login to "Give Your Best"
- Then search for "CYO" or "Catholic Youth Organization", use the filter "select state" for "Oregon" to simplify the list of clubs
- Your school and CYO sport club both might be listed in the Give Your Best Portal. For the CYO clubs the name will be followed by "via Catholic Youth Organization/Camp Howard"
- Mark your specific CYO Club as a favorite - then it will be easy to find when you log in again.
- Entering your volunteer hours is a two-step process to get the Nike donated money to your club.
- Select "Track Time" option and complete the required information. Entering your time volunteer hours will put money into your "My Giving Account" shown at the top of the webpage. Go back to your club link using the search button and select "Donate Now", fill out the required information and under Choose a Payment Method select "My Giving Account" to use your volunteer money.
We are so grateful that you are giving your time and talent for the youth in your club!
Dollar Contributions
The Nike Employee Matching Gift Program encourages Nike Employees to give cash gifts to nonprofits which are eligible to be matched by Nike. The maximum total match per year per Nike employee is $25,000 with no minimum contribution requirement. Nonprofits that are dedicated to youth sports (CYO!) will be doubled or "2X" by Nike while other nonprofits will be matched one dollar for one dollar. To donate, follow the steps below which are similar to the volunteer hours with an easy direct link to get the 2X benefit:

Select "Make a Donation", then "Browse Giving Opportunities". Next in the search box enter "CYO" and select "Filter Results". There are three pages listing out all the CYO sports clubs and Champions of Faith. Finally select the desired organization you want to donate to.
Note:
For Nike to match at 200% you must make your donation through the Give Your Best portal, you can't donate directly and submit a receipt. So for all CYO clubs and Champions of Faith please donate directly through the Nike portal.
