“I am excited and Proud to Work Here, Proud to Give Here! When I the saw the option for recurring payroll deductions I thought ‘That’s perfect for me!’ I have good intentions like so many others but am always doing a million things at once and sometimes my good intentions fall through the cracks.
"I like that I could set it one time, make it recurring, then don’t have to worry about it. My donations are there and can be used as needed. The deduction comes out automatically, so I don’t miss it and even a small amount adds up over the year to a nice contribution. You can choose to donate to as many initiatives as you would like. Even just $15 per pay adds up to $390 in one year. That can make a difference! Especially when everyone pitches in, even just a little, the reward can be huge for the organization!
"Currently I donate to the Staff Senate’s Community Outreach. I like that I am providing them with a bit of a consistent source of funding that they can use for turkeys, Christmas initiatives, school supplies, etc. for the community. I am thinking of adding one other in the coming months and am narrowing down to a final decision or I may just do both — I love to support the causes that are important to me and my family. Payroll deduction makes that easy!”
