KOLO, the leading charitable foundation of the tech-community, is relaunching its “Donate your leave” initiative in partnership with the Ukrainian HR platform PeopleForce. From now on, teams can donate unused paid vacation days to the foundation, with PeopleForce automating the process of collecting and calculating the donation amount.
During the full-scale invasion, many companies began to take fewer vacations, which caused them to accumulate on the balance and put an excessive burden on the payroll. Observing this , KOLO launched an initiative back in March 2024 that allows you to turn unused vacation days into help for the army.
“Our defenders can rarely take a vacation to see their families and take a break, so they need our support. Unfortunately, we can’t share our vacations with them, but we can turn unused vacations into donations and support our defenders with valuable devices that save lives.” Yar Birzul, co-founder and CEO of KOLO Foundation
However, companies that wanted to join the initiative faced the following problems:
The PeopleForce team realized that to make this initiative fully work, they need to help the companies organise the leave donation process. That’s how PeopleForce and KOLO came up with the idea to join forces.
“We saw the opportunity to help companies eliminate operational restrictions and put their efforts into what matters most — donating and supporting the army. Implementing this functionality on the PeopleForce platform became a logical step in our partnership with KOLO”, Andrew Cetinic, CEO and founder of PeopleForce
