- If you are able, maintain your current commitments. These help nonprofits plan not only for today, but for tomorrow.
- Give through the program for longer term assistance and cash flow.
- Everyone – Anyone, an employee or member of the public, may give through our Employee Giving Storefront by Visa or MasterCard to any of the nonprofits in our program.
- Employees – At any time, employees may sign-up for payroll donations using a paper form or using the storefront.

King county employees: as a reminder, non-represented employees and employees whose union has approved this benefit, including those covered by the Master Labor Agreement, may use up to three sick days per calendar year to volunteer at a nonprofit in the Employee Giving Program.
