ITD, state employees have opportunity to share
with those in greatest need through Charitable Giving

From Carla Anderson
ITD Charitable Giving Campaign coordinator
The State Employees’ Charitable Giving Campaign began Monday (Sept. 21) and runs through Oct. 30. We have the opportunity each year to extend our public service commitment to help our neighbors and our communities every day, all year long.

We will have fund raising activities the week of Oct. 26. This is our chance to join together to learn more about charitable giving process and the people and programs that have benefited from our past contributions.

Making a contribution is fast and convenient.

The pledge form is located under the contribute tab on the State Campaign Web site at: http://www.unitedwecare.idaho.gov . It is an interactive form and can be printed; however, it can’t be saved. It is helpful to print two copies – one copy to be submitted to me with a second copy for your tax records.

The state campaign web site has a list of regional and national tax-exempt charitable organizations http://www.unitedwecare.idaho.gov/donate/ or you may choose to contribute to a tax-exempt organization that is not on the list. If you choose one that is not listed, please include the organization name and contact information on the pledge form.

Contribution payments are also convenient. Contributors have the option of a one-time contribution (cash/check), receiving a statement (monthly, quarterly, or other frequency) from United Way, or having a payroll deduction (first, second, or every pay period) through the state payroll system.

As your campaign coordinator, I am here to help you with questions and contributions, so please call or e-mail if you would like help.

With your help, we can make this year’s campaign even better than last year’s. Each contribution is important, and I want to thank you in advance for your consideration of this opportunity to help others.
