Make a donation through payroll
King County employees can pledge an amount to be deducted from their paycheck and donated to as many as six nonprofit organizations of their choice. Deductions can be made:
- Bimonthly (deducted every paycheck)
- Monthly (deducted from the second paycheck each month)
- Annually (deducted once in January)
Minimum donation per organization is $2.00. Maximum number of organization designations is six. To include your donation in a pool of money that will be distributed to ALL campaign participants, leave code section blank and write “campaign” under organization name on your donation form.
Donate vacation and compensatory time
King County employees can donate vacation and/or compensatory time to a single nonprofit organization of their choice. The minimum donation is 4 hours and maximum donation is 40 hours (unless you have excess vacation time). If you are an employee with excess time that cannot be carried over into the next calendar year, you may donate more than 40 hours.
The net cash value of the hours (after all mandatory withholdings, including withholding in accordance with retirement plans, federal income tax and the Federal Insurance Contributions Act) will be calculated and sent to your designated nonprofit organization. You will receive a receipt notifying you of the net cash value of your time donation. Time donations cannot be accepted after December 1, 2006.
