Employee Giving
The collective dedication and generosity of Â鶹´«Ã½AV University employees–our University Family–helps make our institution the special place that it is. We thank you for investing your time in our mission to foster students who excel intellectually, lead ethically, serve compassionately and promote justice. We serve a community that deserves every resource necessary to reach their fullest potential, and, through employee giving, you can choose to further invest in their wellbeing and development.
Your payroll deduction gift can help those who need emergency assistance through the Jane Moulton Reuter ’72 and Edward Reuter ’64 Needy Student Emergency Fund, enrich the student experience through a gift to the Study Abroad of Student Conference Travel Funds, or support an athletic team or academic department of your choice
Employee giving does not need to break the bank, and, besides the obvious gratification that comes with giving back to a community worth investing in, it comes with some benefits. Our payroll deduction option is a seamless way to give back in small increments that add up to a big impact.
University Family Benefits:
- Become a President’s Council member at our special University Family level of $375 – only $15 per pay period!
- Gifts are tax deductible.
- Receive a welcome gift and an anniversary gift when you enroll in payroll deduction.
Whether you make a one-time gift on our giving days, or you choose to enroll in payroll deduction, every gift matters and makes a lasting impact on the lives of our students.
