Can I make a donation through payroll deduction?

Simply fill out the payroll deduction authorization form on your pledge card and mail it in. This method of giving is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to make a gift.

If I’m still currently paying last year’s pledge through payroll deduction, what happens when I pledge to this year’s campaign?
Each person’s payroll deduction begins and ends at different times depending on how many pay periods you have. When you send in your 2007-08 Campaign pledge card, your new payroll deduction pledge will begin when your current payroll deduction ends.
