N ational Award Winning Program. The KCEGP has received two national awards in Employee Engagement and Workplace Giving.

N onprofits benefit the most. Organizations often lose money gaining new donors through direct mail and then on average spend 20 cents to raise a dollar for renewals (or 20% of funds raised). The cost of the EGP has varied between 8-12%, lower than the national workplace average of 16% and still far below direct mail renewal, the next most cost-effective model. These costs include fundraising, pledge processing, marketing and promotional materials, personnel costs and rent and overhead.

U nderstanding Others. This is an opportunity to contribute on a personal level, and learn and grow as an employee.

A pproved workplace activity KCC 3.36. The King County Employee Giving Program Committee spent two years researching and reviewing industry best practices for public sector workplace giving programs and began implementing those findings in 2012 by revising King County Code 3.36, the governing legislation for the King County Employee Giving Program.  The revisions, grounded in best-practices and guiding principles that align with the King County Strategic Plan, streamlined the code and made it more authorizing in nature.
