UW Medicine staff giving campaigns continue through May
Each year, faculty and staff generously give back to support patient care, teaching, and research programs at the UW. This year, all three UW Medicine staff campaigns — Harborview, UW Medical Center, and UW Medicine — continue during May.
The Harborview campaign has the longest history at UW Medicine. Since 1992, faculty and staff have given nearly $2.5 million in support of Harborview programs and services. The Harborview Staff Campaign is the single biggest source of new and continuing payroll pledges for the UW, accounting for more than 60 percent of the total number of current payroll pledges. In the 2006 campaign, 988 Harborview faculty and staff members pledged gifts via payroll deduction — a 66-percent increase over the 592 donors who took part just five years ago.
The UW Medical Center and UW Medicine staff campaigns launched in 2006 with 576 pledged gifts via payroll deduction.
