Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Staff Campaign?

It is a hospital-wide effort to encourage staff and faculty to make a donation to support Harborview Medical Center, or other areas at UW Medicine.

When is the Staff Campaign?

The 2009 Staff Campaign runs Monday, May 18 through Monday, June 1, but gifts are welcome throughout the year.

Is this the same as the Combined Fund Drive?

No. The Staff Campaign is for Harborview staff and faculty only, and gifts are directed only to Harborview or UW Medicine programs or funds. The Combined Fund Drive is for all Washington state employees, and gifts made to the Combined Fund Drive can be directed to other charities.

How much should I give?

Gifts of any size are welcomed and appreciated.

Is my gift tax-deductible?

Yes, 100 percent of your gift is tax deductible as allowed by law.

Where does the money go?

One hundred percent of your Staff Campaign gift directly supports projects and programs that enhance patient care, research, and teaching. You may direct your gift to any Harborview or UW Medicine program or fund (click here for a list of Harborview funds).
