  11. 100% of your designated giving goes to your specified charity or charities. Undesignated funds cover the administrative costs of the campaign. At the end of each campaign year, remaining undesignated funds are divided proportionately among charities who received at least $1,000 in designations.

  12. Designation Options • Designate a Single, Specific Charity • Designate Multiple Specific Charities • Designate a specific region of the state (to include all charities who serve that region) • Leave your gift as “undesignated” and it will be distributed among all charities who received at least $750 in specific designations.

  13. For coordinators, this is a special assignment and not a year-round job! Use this opportunity to learn more about the wonderful employees in your agency! The campaign runs from October 1 through December 15. The main kickoff will be Sept. 18. Agency chairs may run a shorter campaign within these dates.

  14. This campaign is run by employees and for employees. Employees “vote” for their favorite charity when they designate their gift Employees from across the state serve as volunteer coordinators and on the Advisory Council Employees Volunteer their time and talent to their local charities
