Donate to Combined Charities and Students

This month, join us as we seek to have more employee participation than in any year past for our annual Campus Campaign and Combined Charities participation! From now until Oct. 31, sign up for payroll deduction and transform the lives of students and your favorite charities through your generosity.

Combined Charities

Every fall, Minnesota State Universities compete for Combined Charities to have the highest percentage of employee participation in giving (even $10 helps). Because of generous employees like you, MSUM has won the title of most charitable institution for the past two years! Employees can donate to a charity of their choice through payroll deduction. Set it up once, and your generosity keeps giving all year long.

This process makes your donation stretch further to help Minnesotans in need. The campaign includes Charitable Federations, groups of charitable organizations that represent charities working on similar issues. This collaboration keeps administrative and fundraising expenses low, making your contribution dollars go as far as possible.

Donate to the cause that matters most to you––environment, education, women’s issues, breaking the cycle of poverty, and much more.

To see your dollars impact our Fargo-Moorhead community, here are some great options for local charities to donate to:

  • United Way of Cass Clay
  • Open Your Heart to the Hungry and Homeless
  • PeaceMaker Minnesota
  • Community Health Charities… and many more

To donate, please follow the instructions below:

Visit Self-Service Website. MN Self Service Site

  1. Click on “Other Payroll.”
  2. Click on Charitable Deductions.
  3. Click on Charitable Deductions again (If you pledged last year, you’ll see a summary of those results).
  4. Click on Add Deduction.
  5. Click the magnifying glass in the Type of Deduction field to select your charity.
  6. Enter the amount you’d like deducted each pay period.
  7. Accept the default deduction start and stop dates.
  8. Click on save and your deduction will be confirmed.
  9. Click on OK

Check donations may be dropped off in the Human Resources Office, however, we highly encourage online donations to help count towards our participation goal!

Give to MSUM Students

When thinking of making your charitable contributions for the year, consider making a one-time or recurring gift toward MSUM student scholarships and programs—a gift that truly transforms lives.

To sign up for payroll deduction and see a list of funds, visit mnstate. edu/alumni/campus-campaign, or return the form on the back of this postcard to the MSUM Foundation (Box 68 attn. Lois Wagner) through campus mail.

On behalf of the students we serve, thank you for all you do.
