Microsoft employees have donated more than $740,000 to organizations working on Haiti earthquake relief. The company matched that amount, bringing the total close to $1.5 million.

Employees have given to 195 organizations working on earthquake relief.

"We've seen a tremendous amount of support and ingenuity from our employees," the company said in a statement on Monday.

Microsoft matches each employee's charitable giving by up to $12,000 a year.
