Workplace Giving
Your pledge through workplace giving funds systemic change.
Workplace giving is a simple and effective way for employees to make tax-deductible donations to local charities through payroll contributions, credit card, cash/check, or gift of stock. Workplace giving allows a company and its employees to work together to benefit the community.

How to Give
The Community Shares workplace giving campaign is “donor-driven.” You can designate (or direct) your donations to specific Community Shares member nonprofits and they will receive 100% of your gift. Gifts can be made via payroll, credit card, or ACH using our new secure ePledge platform! give.communityshares.com
Talk to your company’s workplace giving coordinator for pledge materials.
If you are a state or university employee, donate at https://giving.wi.gov/
