Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How do I contribute?
By completing your pledge form
(print or online) and returning
it to your Site Rep by Wednesday,
October 31.
Q. When does my payroll
deduction start?
Your payroll deduction pledge
will begin in pay period 1-2008
and will continue through pay period
26-2008.
Q. If I am a continuous
giver do I need to turn in my pledge
card?
We
ask that all employees submit
a pledge form to ensure that
we reach everyone. If you
are a Continuous Giver, simply
write "Continuous" on your
pledge form and submit it to
your Site Rep. We are encouraging
Continuous Givers to increase
their gift by at least 10%
to match inflation and employee
attrition. This will allow
the County's Charitable Giving
Campaign to maintain and expand
its impact on our community.
Q.
What if I want to give to a specific
charity?
If
you do not restrict your gift
to a specific charity, the
CGC Managing Agency, United
Way of Santa Barbara County,
will use its trained volunteers
to allocate the funds where
they are most needed in services
throughout Santa Barbara County.
If you wish to restrict your
gift to a particular charity,
please list the name and address/city/state
of any registered 501(c)(3)
non-profit in the US. You may
find the Agency Code for the
charity at www.unitedwaysb.org/help_agency.html. Processing
restricted gifts carries a
13.3% administrative fee. There
is no fee for pledges over
$100 to geographic regions.
Q. What if I have
new employees that do not have a
pre-printed pledge form?
All County employees may pledge
online and blank pledge
cards are available. Please call
Chris Schwass at 965-8591 x114
at United Way of Santa Barbara
County to arrange for extras to
be dropped off.
