Final call to donate to your agency of choice through Combined Charities

The October campaign for Minnesota state employees to donate to their favorite charities is ending soon. If you’ve already made a payroll deduction –thank you! If you’re still contemplating, you’re encouraged to consider giving to a federation or charity of your choice.

United Way of Cass-Clay is leading the charge locally to reduce hunger and homelessness, help prepare children for success, and provide people support to obtain independence. Learn more about UWCC and watch their 2021 campaign video.

Though the campaign is ending, you can set up payroll deductions in Self-Service at any time. Any payroll deduction will begin in January and run through December.

To set up new or edit existing deductions:

  • Go to the self-service portal (state.mn.us/employee) and log in
  • Select “My Pay”
  • Select “Charitable Deductions.” From this page, you can review, add, or update voluntary deduction information.
  • On “Type of Deduction” you can search for your agency of choice
