September marks the beginning of the Combined Fund Drive, an annual campaign that provides giving opportunities, via payroll deduction, for all state employees, including WSU staff and faculty.
Last year 749 WSU employees contributed $175,389 through the program.
The CFD provides a convenient and secure way for state employees and retirees to give to more than 2,600 local, regional and national nonprofit organizations. Contributions may be made online, through payroll deduction, via one-time pledge or with a check.
The 2010 campaign theme is “give where you LIVE,” encouraging donors to assist local nonprofit organizations hit hard by the recent economic downturn.
