Can I still give to another nonprofit through United Way?
Yes, donors are still able to designate donations to any registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization of their choice. United Way prides itself on offering this benefit to our region. United Way does charge a minimal processing fee for donations designated to other charities.
What is payroll deduction?
Payroll deduction is a contribution plan in which an employer deducts a specified amount from an employee's pay and puts the funds toward insurance, healthcare or an investment account. In come cases, employers allow you to make a contribution to your favorite charity of choice through payroll deduction too! If you chose to donate through United Way, a portion of your pay (in whatever amount you chose) will be taken out of each pay cycle and given to your charity of choice. All you have to do is complete the pledge form.
What if I don't think I can afford to give?
Our region's nonprofit organizations need your help! Just remember: every dollar, every cent counts toward making a difference. You'll be surprised at how quickly just a few dollars can add up and, together with your colleagues' donations, can and will change the lives of many! Let's assume you give $5 per pay period; if you're paid 24 times a year that will add up to $120 by year's end...and that could mean several meals for a child in poverty or perhaps a training class for one of his or her parents!
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes, it is! Our tax ID number is 91-0715071.
