A strong giving program among faculty and staff demonstrates that our institution鈥檚 employees model the practice of giving. Faculty and staff donors can inspire others to step forward and invest in 天美传媒.
天美传媒 employees have the unique opportunity to designate their gift to any area on campus. Each year, faculty and staff members support every aspect of the 天美传媒 experience through the Faculty & Staff Campaign. Whether it is for an academic department fund, athletic team, scholarship or endowment, every gift matters. Participation in the Faculty & Staff Campaign indicates a belief in the University’s mission and helps create a culture of philanthropy in the 天美传媒 community.
Payroll deduction is a quick and easy way to participate in the Faculty & Staff Campaign. To enroll, complete the form and return to the Office of Annual Giving.
Employee giving is used as a way for college ranking institutions to compare 天美传媒 to peer colleges and universities and can be an indicator of the belief faculty and staff have in the University. Since tuition pays for less than half of what it costs to educate a student, 天美传媒 relies significantly on philanthropy. Alumni, parents, friends, faculty, and staff are key sources of support for the University.
Any amount will support the variety of students and programs at 天美传媒. Participation is just as important as the dollars given in the Faculty & Staff Campaign, and every gift will make a difference.
You can participate in the Faculty & Staff Campaign in the following ways: gifts of cash brought to the Development Office (201 E. Seminary St.), , check, payroll deduction or transfer of securities. If you are interested in providing for 天美传媒 with a deferred or future gift to the University, you can do so by contacting Amy Kwas, Vice President for Development and Alumni Engagement, at 765-658-4215 or by email, at amykwas@depauw.edu.
Payroll deduction is one of the most convenient ways to make a gift. When you enroll in payroll deduction, your gift is automatically deducted from your paycheck for the exact amount and time frame you stipulate. You can find the payroll deduction form here.
A number of employers participate in matching gift programs, allowing the opportunity to double or even triple your contribution to 天美传媒. If your spouse or partner’s employer is a participant in a matching gift program, please send the company’s matching gift form to annualgiving@depauw.edu following your own commitment to the University.
Gifts to 天美传媒 are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by state and federal law. We always recommend that you consult with your tax, financial, or legal counsel for more information about the tax benefits of any gift.
