"Why should I release my name?"
When KECC sends payment to the charity of your choice, they only know who made the gift if you give us permission to release your name and contact information on the pledge form. If your pledge is directed to one or all of the six charities, they will not use or release your information in any way other than to thank you.
Can I give to other charities?
Yes, however, since the partner charities pay all KECC expenses, there is a 10 percent fee charged to non-partner charities to help offset the processing costs of these pledges. To avoid this, you may wish to donate directly to that charity or consider giving to one of the six KECC partner charities.
You may direct your gift to any 501(c)(3) organization by providing KECC with their address on the pledge form.
To help hold down administrative costs, these gifts to other “write-in” charities must be at least a $50 cash gift or a payroll gift of $3 per paycheck.
When will the charity of my choice receive the contributions I make?
Cash pledges are sent in the first quarter following the end of the campaign. Because payroll deductions allow you to spread your donation over the course of a year, we put your gift to use right away -- donations to the six partner charities are sent quarterly. Other “write-in” designations will be sent once all of the payroll deductions have been collected. Questions? Get the facts! Call us at 502-589-2296.
