2017 STAR Awards – Departments of 250 or fewer employees

The King County Employee Giving Program Department Achievement Awards recognize departmental milestones in 4 categories: participation rate, overall dollars pledged, most improved from previous year, and the number of “new connections,” aka new employee donors, that were made in a year.

The EGP is excited to recognize the following departments with 250 or fewer employees for their achievements:
