HOW TO GIVE TO WNPS AT THE OFFICE


Do you want to know how to give to WNPS during the annual giving campaign at your workplace?

Or want to know what to tell your friends or family about workplace giving?

Here's how:

1) Public workplaces:

If you work for one of many of the public entities in our area such as the State of Washington, University of Washington, Washington State University, the federal government, city of Seattle, King County, as well as many other counties and cities, you can find Washington Native Plant Society listed in the campaign catalogue under the umbrella of Earth Share of Washington. Once you have found WNPS, write the code number on your payroll deduction pledge form.

2) Private workplaces:

If you work for one of many private companies that includes Earth Share of Washington in your workplace giving campaign, find Earth Share of Washington on your payroll deduction pledge form and write Washington Native Plant Society in as a specific designation.

3) United Way campaigns:

If Earth Share of Washington is not yet listed by your employer in your workplace giving campaign, you can designate Washington Native Plant Society or Earth Share of Washington in the "Specific Organization" or "donor option" section of your United Way pledge form. Ask your campaign coordinator how to do this if it is not clear.

All donations received by WNPS through workplace giving campaigns will be used to fund activities that support WNPS's mission to promote the appreciation and conservation of Washington's native plants and their habitats.
