Organizations Supported

To make this program manageable for our payroll department, funding is directed to a limited number of local “umbrella” organizations, which in turn, support a wide variety of projects and programs with many areas of impact.

Supported organizations include:

If you are not familiar with the College's employee giving program, we would be happy to visit with you about the program and share the benefits for both the employee and the receiving organizations. 

Purpose

The payroll deduction program was formalized in 2006 as a convenience to employees and a courtesy to local area nonprofits. Through this once-a-year enrollment, employees can donate to a wide variety of local causes through 51���app’s “umbrella” organizations. These organizations manage a range of funds, some providing for current programs and some building permanent endowments for the future. By participating in the Give Local 51���app Program:

• You never have to write a check.
• It is easier to budget larger donations.
• 51���app College provides a secondary source for tracking your gifts.

Enrollment Dates

There is an annual enrollment, typically in December, with deductions beginning in January of the following year. You have the option to pledge ‘one year only’ or to continue 'ongoing until you contact the payroll department to stop'. You can still participate and enroll in the payroll deduction program after January, just note that your pledge will be spread out over the remaining months of the year. Any previous pledges requested as ‘ongoing’ will not be affected. You will need to contact the Payroll Department directly to make a change.

These contributions make a difference!

“I participate every year in the payroll deduct employee giving program because it not only helps me thoughtfully plan my giving for the year, but it also allows me to give a little more to each organization by spreading it throughout the year!”

— Rachel Bly, Assistant Vice President for Auxiliary Services.

“The Employee Giving Program makes it easy for us to support our local community organizations consistently throughout the year.”

— Cecilia Knight, Associate Professor, Library; Acquisitions and Discovery Librarian.
