are designed to represent the cumulative intent of all individuals at Prime, regardless of their income or personal circumstances, so everyone at Prime gets the same number of votes, regardless of how much money they’ve donated - or whether they’ve donated at all. The company does only three things - announce the charity drive, double the aggregate employee donation, and distribute the money to its intended recipients.
We practice intrinsic tangible altruism.
Twice a year, Prime organizes company-wide charity campaigns, traditionally for New Year’s and for June 1 (International Children's Day).
Every employee can propose a charitable cause related to the arts, education, or healthcare, as long as the recipient is not a religious or a political organization.
Individual participation is anonymous and, by extension, so are individual donation amounts.
When the list of causes is put up to a vote, every employee gets as many votes as there are proposed causes, which they can award to a cause or to several causes, in proportion to how strongly they feel about them.
Voting is anonymous.
The total amount collected for donation is matched by Prime at 100% and then distributed to the proposed causes in proportion to the votes each cause has received.
Prime’s charity initiatives
