Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  Will Emory match my donation?
A:  Emory University, as a tax exempt entity itself, does not match donations made by its employees to charity. As a matter of fact, most non-profits don't match employee charitable gifts. Matching gifts are traditionally offered by corporations and for profit businesses.

Q:  Do I receive a copy of my donation form?
A:  Yes! After completing the donation form and making your check payable to one of the 7 charitable partners, you should make a copy for your files.

Q:  Under Emory Community Giving, can I give to any nonprofit group?
A:  No, the nonprofit groups that you can support through Emory Community Giving are American Heart Association Heart Walk, Community Health Charities of Georgia, Earth Share of Georgia, Georgia Black United Fund, Georgia Shares, Global Impact, and the United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta and their 452 member agencies.

Q:  How were these charities chosen?
A:  United Way of Metro Atlanta has been a partner for many years and the other federations lobbied Emory for inclusion in the campaign for several years, and were recommended to the President's Cabinet by the Employee Council and the University Senate. Emory has reviewed each charitable federation to ensure that they meet certain key performance criteria. Each federation has certified to Emory that each of their member agencies are legitimate non-profit organizations.

Q:  How can I get more information about the charitable partners and their members?
A:  Brief profiles on the seven 2010 charitable partners and direct links to their websites are provided here . Although the size, number of member agencies, resources, and focus of these charitable partners vary widely, each charitable partner has been reviewed by Emory University and is in good standing on key performance criteria. Each charitable partner has certified to Emory that each of their member agencies is also in good standing and has the necessary credentials to operate as a legitimate nonprofit group.

Q:  What is the difference between giving to the "community fund" of a charitable partner and giving directly to one of its member agencies?
A:  Funds given to any of the seven charitable federations are combined and divided among the member agencies of the federation partner. Funds designated for a specific member agency are given to that agency minus any applicable administrative fees.

Q:  To which group do I make my check payable?
A:  Checks should be made payable to one of the seven charitable federations only, NOT to Emory University, Emory Community Giving or Emory Healthcare. The charitable federations are American Heart Association Heart Walk, Community Health Charities of Georgia, Earth Share of Georgia, Georgia Black United Fund, Georgia Shares, Global Impact, and United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta.

Q:  Can I make a donation directly to a member agency?
A:  Yes, you can make a contribution to any of the 452 member agencies of the 2010 Emory Community Giving charitable partners. Simply identify the code number for the agency that you wish to support and put that code number, along with the amount of your contribution, on the donation form.

Q:  Can I write my check directly to a member agency of one of the seven charitable partners in Emory Community Giving?
A:  No. checks should be made payable to one of the seven charitable partners -- American Heart Association Heart Walk, Community Health Charities, Earth Share of Georgia, Georgia Black United Fund, Georgia Shares, Global Impact, and Metro Atlanta United Way ONLY -- who will send your donation to the member agency you have identified on your donation form. DO NOT make checks payable to individual member agencies of the seven charitable federations.

Q:  How much does one have to give before a charity is required to give a receipt?
A:  The law requires a charity to issue a written receipt indicating that no goods or services were received in exchange for the gift if the gift is $250 or more given at one time. You may request a receipt for a gift of any amount by completing the information at the bottom of the donation form.

Q:  Will my Social Security number be shared outside Emory?
A:  No, Social Security information on any Emory employee will not be shared outside Emory. Payroll departments prefer that all employees use the employee ID number found on their payroll checks instead of Social Security numbers. If the employee ID number is unknown, Social Security numbers can be used.

Q:  Can I stop a payroll-deduction contribution during the year?
A:  Yes, any employee may stop an Emory Community Giving payroll deduction by contacting his or her Payroll Office and requesting that the payroll deduction be stopped.

Q:  If I leave Emory, what happens to my payroll deduction?
A:  If your donation is deducted from your paycheck, then when you terminate employment, the deduction automatically will stop.
