Final weeks of Hokies Give Back, annual employee giving campaign

From: Human Resources

We are moving into the final weeks of our Hokies Give Back campaign, where employees can donate to any charity of choice.

This year employees are encouraged to donate directly to their charity or charities through the organization’s website, by mailing a donation, volunteering, or other giving methods. Giving directly has many advantages, such as:

• All employees can take part. Previously, wage employees’ participation was limited because they could not choose to do payroll deduction. 
• There are no limits on the charities that employees can choose. 
• While we encourage employee giving during the fall (because this is the time of year when communities often need the most support), employees can give at any time they want and when it works best for their household. 
• Charities can benefit immediately from donations. 

We encourage everyone to continue supporting local organizations throughout November and into December, as this is a critical time for communities in need during the holiday seasons.

Thank you for your continued dedication and generosity to the success of our communities. Learn more about Hokies Give Back on the Human Resources site. If you have questions, contact your senior management area steering member or email employeeprogram@vt.edu.
