Support Community Through Employee Giving
The Employee Giving Program is a meaningful way to embody our Principles of Community. Through payroll auto-giving, employees support the causes they care about most. Over 1,500 colleagues are already participating, donating more than $1 million each year. Many have shared heartfelt stories about the care their loved ones received and how our programs have had a profound impact.
You don’t need to give a lot to make a big difference. Most donors start with $5 to $10 per paycheck. Together, we can create a meaningful impact.
Special Event Swag
The Employee Giving team will return to the Principles of Community event with new 2026 swag. Here’s how to participate:
Not a donor yet? Now's the perfect time to join and reserve your swag early.
Already a donor? Consider increasing your contribution by $5 with each paycheck to secure your swag and amplify your impact.
Swag is limited. Early enrollment or upgrades are recommended to secure availability.
The Principles of Community event is more than just a gathering—it’s a celebration of who we are, how we support each other, and the many ways we build community together. We look forward to seeing you in March!
