Ways to Give

Make a recurring gift: donate by automatic payroll deduction

Sign up to have $2, $5, $25, or even $100 automatically debited from your paycheck each pay period to benefit the Employee Emergency CARE fund. Donations are deducted after tax.

One-time gift: donate by payroll deduction, PayPal, or check 

You may also make a one-time donation via payroll deduction, Paypal, or check. If you select the Paypal option, please note that a 2.9% fee and a 0.30 cent per transaction fee will be subtracted from your donation before it is distributed to the Employee Emergency CARE Fund. Make checks payable to Cornell University, and in the notes section, write CARE Fund. Mail your check to: Employee Emergency CARE Fund, Cornell Work/Life, 395 Pine Tree Road, Suite 130, Ithaca, NY 14850.

Honor a retiring colleague

Cornell employees who wish to forego a retirement gift and/or party may request their department make a donation to the Employee Emergency CARE Fund in their name. To arrange a departmental transfer, email carefund@cornell.edu.

Change or Stop Your Payroll Deduction

If you need to change or stop your payroll deduction, fill out the Payroll Deduction Authorization Form and send to Payroll UCO Mailbox, 377 Pine Tree Road, Ithaca, NY 14850, or fax to (607) 255-3198. 

Donations are not tax deductible

The Employee Emergency CARE Fund provides support more broadly than allowed by the IRS definition of a workplace relief fund, especially to victims of domestic violence, and thus gifts to the fund are not tax deductible.

Volunteer

Fundraising for the Employee Emergency CARE Fund is done by a committee of Cornell employee volunteers. Our subcommittees include marketing & communications, employee ambassadors, and events.  Contact us to learn how you can help!
