Why participate in the Employee Giving Program?

• Workplace giving is one of the most efficient and effective forms of fundraising.
• One of the most cost-effective forms of fundraising, allowing more money to go to programs.
• Planned regular gifts such as payroll deduction are larger gifts.
• Access to over 14,000 King County employees through print materials, website, and participation opportunities.
