UW Combined Fund Drive Begins 10/22

 

The 2015 UW Combined Fund Drive officially begun. This year’s featured charity is Facing Homelessness. Their mission is to remove the negative stereotype about those living on our streets. Facing Homelessness is looking to create ‘Face to Face’ events where our community can come together and share our unique and beautiful lives. They believe the conversation about homelessness needs to be both an intellectual one, grounded in knowledge about the complexities, and an emotional one, informed by personal experiences.

Benefits of Giving through the UW Combined Fund Drive:

• Nonprofits appreciate workplace giving programs because they are one of the most inexpensive forms of fundraising and one of the largest sources of income. In addition, it is often easier to give smaller amounts throughout the year via payroll deduction than in a lump sum check which means you may be able to give more.
• Nonprofits save time and money. All employee donations are sent in a single check once per quarter, requiring far fewer staff to process individual donations, and lowering bank fees. Organizations also save the expense of multiple fundraising campaigns, so more dollars go to services.
• Nonprofits can budget. The quarterly distribution allows charities to budget more effectively knowing they have a steady stream of income throughout the year. Regular donations allow nonprofit organizations to better plan their upcoming activities.
• Nonprofits depend on workplace giving. The UW Combined Fund Drive is one of the largest sources of income for many charities.
