I feel pretty shy about EA in general and especially EA at my workplace, but I’d be curious about specifics for how you go about doing these kinds of things that I can maybe replicate.
I’m thinking of doing a Birthday for Charity Fundraiser for my Dec 11 birthday, which connects with Christmas, and I was thinking it would be appropriate to pass that around at work—and discuss effectiveness a little bit.

When I did the effective giving discussion at work last time I sent out an email to an internal “misc” mailing list saying day/time/location and then sat at a table in the cafeteria with a sign. People came over, we talked. For the matching I would do something similar: send something out to an internal mailing list describing and advocating for the charity and offering to match.
(In the case of matching this year there’s a semi-formal program where groups of employees get together and offer to match donations to a specific charity, and a group formed for SCI while I was out on leave, so when I came back I just had to notice the email and say “hey, can I join this matching party?”)

Finding an ‘excuse’ to talk about EA like this seems like a good idea.
