Employee Giving
Employee Gift Match Program
Lam's Employee Gift Match Program encourages community involvement on the part of our employees and supports the nonprofit organizations of interest to our employees. Lam recognizes that community involvement and support are required to improve the quality of life in the regions where Lam has offices. The Employee Gift Match Program offers Lam employees the option to support their community through monetary contributions and as volunteers, or a combination of the two. Monetary contributions are matched dollar—for—dollar. Lam matches volunteer hours, in increments of one hour, by contributing $10.00 per hour for every volunteer hour completed by a Lam employee.
Eligibility
All regular, full—time employees can request the Company to match up to $600.00 per year through direct monetary contributions, volunteerism, or a combination of the two.
Eligible Organizations
Nonprofit organizations and institutions that hold a tax—exempt status granted by the Internal Revenue Service. Nonprofits may be classified as educational, cultural, social service, environmental, health, or disability—related.

Submittal Process
The Lam employee downloads the Matching Gift Form from the Lam Intranet and completes Part A, then submits it along with their donation or at the time of the volunteer activity to the nonprofit recipient. It is the nonprofit's responsibility to complete Part B of the Matching Gift Form and send it to Community Affairs for processing. Lam cannot process forms that are incomplete or contain incorrect information. Incorrect or incomplete forms will be returned to the employee. Requests must be received by Lam within 90 days of receipt of contribution or completion of volunteer activity to be eligible for matching. Organizations must provide a copy of their 501(c)(3) tax exemption letter with their request in order to receive a matching contribution.
