Corporate Matching Gifts FAQs

Wynn Resorts encourages employees to participate in the Wynn Resorts, Limited Employee Foundation, a Section 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation (“Foundation”) and wants to increase the impact of employees’ generosity through the Corporate Matching Gifts Program.

Q: Who can participate?

A: All Wynn Resorts (and its U.S. subsidiaries) employees in good standing are eligible for participation.

Q: What employee donations are eligible?

A: From November 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016, Wynn Resorts may match donations made by employees (and received by the Foundation) dollar-for-dollar up to $75,000 per employee.

Starting on January 1, 2017, Wynn Resorts may match donations made by employees (and received by the Foundation) dollar-for-dollar up to $75,000 per employee per calendar year (e.g., January 1 through December 31).

Only employee donations in the form of cash, check or payroll deduction will be matched. Other forms of donation (e.g., time, goods, etc.) are not eligible.

Q: Which organizations are eligible for the match?

A: To be eligible for a match, an organization must meet BOTH of the following requirements:

  • The organization is recognized by the IRS as tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) or is an educational institute (defined below); and

  • The primary purpose of the organization is to benefit residents in communities where Wynn has a local presence.

    Local presence means within Clark County, Nevada. Educational institute means any K-12, trade or vocational school or university located in Clark County, Nevada. Final determination of an organization’s initial and continuing eligibility will be made by Wynn Resorts’ officers or designees.

Q: Which organizations are not eligible for the match?

A: Wynn Resorts will not match gifts to certain organizations, including any of the following:

  • Organizations that deny service, membership or other involvement on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, veteran status, disability status, or other legally protected class.

  • Organizations that only provide benefits directly to employees or their families such as trips, tours, internships, tuition, event tickets, parking privileges, club dues, products and services, or discounts on products or services.

  • Political or fraternal organizations.

  • Religious organizations (e.g., churches, synagogues, mosques and other houses of worship), or other organizations primarily promoting religious purposes. However, faith-based community service organizations may be considered eligible if their primary purpose is to provide programs that (a) are open to all individuals in the community regardless of religious belief; (b) serve a secular purpose, such as food pantry, homeless shelter or education; (c) do not require participation in prayer, worship or other religious activities as a condition of receiving service(s) offered; and (d) do not use the individual donation or resulting match for religious purposes.

  • For-profit organizations or those non-profit organizations that are not Section 501(c)(3) organizations (with the exception of educational institutes as defined above).

  • Organizations whose programming or policies may place Wynn Resorts, the Foundation or any of their affiliates or employees in a negative light.

    The above list is not comprehensive and may be updated from time to time by Wynn Resorts.

Q: When will the match be distributed?

A: Wynn Resorts’ goal is to process eligible gifts to organizations on an annual basis as follows:

Donations Received By: December 31

Matching Gifts Distributed By: January 31 of the following year
