Hurricane Ian made landfall in southwestern Florida as a powerful Category 4 storm, with 150mph winds and record-breaking storm surges causing catastrophic damage. At least 21 people have died, thousands are unaccounted for, and homes, businesses and infrastructure have been devastated. Over 2 million people lost power, and early estimates put homes damaged as 60% or more in some areas. After weakening, Ian is re-intensifying and is expected to further impact the South and North Carolina over the next few days. Cisco Foundation has launched a $1M Hurricane Ian disaster campaign and donations will be matched up to $10,000 per employee. Campaign donations will not be counted toward employees' annual $25,000 match limit. Note on Tax Deductibility: This fund includes U.S.- based organizations. U.S. employees who make a credit card donation will receive a receipt for tax deductibility for the portion of the donation contributed to these organizations. Employees outside the U.S. will not be able to receive a receipt for tax deductibility for credit card donations to organizations in this fund.

Update: we have met the 5K in donations to this fund, and have matched. Additional donations will not count towards the Duo match, but are still eligible for Cisco's match. Duo will match up to $5K of donations TOTAL (from BU members and matrixed teams only) to the fund made through the end of this month, which may also be eligible for Cisco’s Bright Funds match to triple your gifts for a total of $15K.

Hello and thanks for stopping by! Welcome to the Florida SLED Gives Back page, your one-stop shop for giving and donations here at Cisco. Using a single site, we'll be able to track the generous giving that has become synonymous with the Florida SLED team. We pride ourselves in helping others in our communities and beyond, so by creating this fund we can continue to make that impact while working with Cisco to match our efforts. Even better, this will be our go-to page for giving going forward! Meaning, as we make our quarterly shifts to different causes, we can add the new non-profits to the site, while keeping the old ones intact. Looking to make this as easy as possible for everyone; please consider making an impact today! Kevin and Cody
