Why Does My Gift Matter?
Every gift helps us reach our goals, and every gift helps provide students and patients with the resources they need to thrive.
When faculty, staff and team members make a gift to VCU, we show the community that our programs are worth investing in. We show our students and patients that we care. We signal to our colleagues that we believe in them and the work they’re doing. A bonus: High levels of employee support can strengthen VCU’s chances to receive funding from corporations and foundations.
Giving is made easy for employees of VCU or VCU Health through payroll deduction. This method allows employees to give directly from their paychecks to support programs that enhance the mission of VCU and VCU Health.
While you may choose to support any existing fund, college, or program, please note that charitable gifts may not be directed to funds you administer. All donors who give via payroll deduction will be sent a cumulative receipt for tax purposes at the end of the calendar year.
If you have any questions or would like to make an update to an existing pledge made via payroll deduction, please contact the Gifts and Records Management team at fsrgiving@vcu.edu.
The support of faculty and staff sets an excellent example for the community, and we thank you for sharing your talents and your resources. Please select the appropriate link below to start your pledge today.
The payroll deduction program for Monroe Park Campus faculty and staff makes it easy to make a recurring gift of any size. Your recurring gift helps us plan long-term projects. Employees can change or stop a payroll deduction at any time by contacting the Office of Gifts and Records Management.
VCU Health team members can set up recurring giving by visiting support.give.vcu.edu.
Testimonials
Leslie Brown, special assistant for special projects to the senior vice president and CFO. She donates to VCU Libraries’ Open and Affordable Course Content Initiative.
“VCU does an incredible job of making clear what its mission is. It feels like there’s a bright line that runs through the university everywhere. You can walk out of your office and you can touch that bright line and say, ‘OK, this leads to student success and the creation of new knowledge.’ When you give [to VCU], you feel like you’re really contributing to those things.”
Amy Armstrong, Ph.D., associate dean of faculty development and associate professor, College of Health Professions. She donates to the college’s Student Emergency Fund.
“For me to be able to give to students who want to make a difference in their communities and may have been marginalized or may not have equal access to health care is a really powerful goal and aspiration. I appreciate that these students want to give of themselves and their time to help support the community. To give something back and help them realize their dreams is very powerful.”
King Goldman, building operations and talent resources coordinator, Development and Alumni Relations. He donates to VCU’s universitywide Student Emergency Fund:
“There are students who don’t have the resources to pick up a telephone and say, ‘Hey, send money.’ At VCU, we’re trying to provide more opportunities for all Virginians and beyond. When you give, it comes from a place of wanting things to be better even when it’s not directly hands-on, to effect change. You can make a gift and know that little bit helps out. Whatever our final number is in a campaign, the person that gave $5 is part of that number, just like the person that gave $20 million. You don’t get to the total without the sum of those parts.”
