Altruism

Intent: 

To enhance community identity and promote social cohesion.

The feature language only requires that employers contribute "to a registered charity to match employee donations." As such, if the employer selects the charity, then that would meet the feature requirements.

Projects that are operated as a co-working space should pursue the New & Existing Interiors project type. For this type of project, this feature would apply to all regular building occupants.

All building staff managing and operating the building and/or employed by the project owner and regularly working in the building must have access to these benefits. Additionally, the owner must provide education to tenants related to the benefits and implementation of these requirements.

A worker is considered an employee if they have a regular or predictable schedule, which has (or is intended to) continue for longer than a few months.
