I am an employee, may I make a donation through payroll deduction?

I am an employee; should I give through Payroll Deduction, by credit card, or with a check?
Most members of Team UNC give through Payroll Deduction. Payroll deductions are the easiest way to give and you can provide significant support over the course of the year by splitting it up between paychecks.
What is an endowment?
An endowment is a gift fund invested in perpetuity by the UNC Foundation. The income generated by the investment supports the fund you designate. A portion of the income is reinvested each year enabling the endowment to grow and provide a permanent stream of income over time. A new endowment can be established with a minimum gift of $25,000. An annual spendable scholarship can be established with a $5,000 donation that will award a $1,000 scholarship for five years. Contact us at 970-351-2551 or donor.relations@unco.edu for more information.
How do I establish a scholarship?
Gifts that fund scholarships make it possible for UNC to attract and retain the best undergraduate and graduate students, regardless of their financial circumstances. You can make a difference by contributing any amount to an existing scholarship or establishing a new scholarship endowment to benefit students enrolled in the college/school of your choice.
