Now is the perfect time to invite your favorite nonprofit to be a part of the King County Employee Giving Program!
Over the last 35 years, our list of nonprofits has grown from around ten to more than 1300, partly because of referrals from Employees.
When you refer a nonprofit organization, we add them to our outreach list and inform them about the application cycle. While referrals are not required, they help let a nonprofit know that someone is encouraging their participation!
Some past employee referrals include:
- Tukwila Children’s Foundation
- Sanca
- Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance
- Duwamish Tribal Services
…and so many more!
The first step is to fill out the referral form here. We will even let you know via email when they’re in.
When a referred non-profit becomes part of the King County Employee Giving Program, eligible employees may use up to 3 days of sick leave to volunteer there year-round.
During the Annual Giving Drive, you may be able to:
- Tell your co-workers all about your favorite non-profit
- Invite the nonprofit in or do a special event in their honor
- Support the nonprofit with your pledge
All nonprofits must apply and meet eligibility requirements annually in order for them to be in the upcoming Annual Giving Drive. Applications open April 15, 2025.
