UCHealth employee giving

Philanthropy is a powerful part of UCHealth’s culture, and it’s the generosity of employee donors that makes this possible. As a UCHealth employee, a gift to your local, regional foundation strengthens our community by supporting patients, fellow employees and programs across northern Colorado.

Five things to know about employee giving

• Choose your impact: Support the area, program, or service-line that matters most to you.
• Your gift amplified: For every $2 employee donation, UCHealth matches $1- extending the impact of employee generosity.
• Giving is easy: Recurring payroll deductions start at just $2 per pay period.
• PTO giving: Nearing your PTO cap? Donate overage hours to the foundation (minimum of 4 hours).
• No overhead or administration fees: What you give to the foundation goes directly to your designated area.

What to know about your donation

• Tax-deductible: All gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
• Payroll deduction: Contributions made through payroll deduction appear on your pay stub in Lawson. Each stub shows the amount donated for that period, and your final pay stub of the year includes a cumulative total for tax purposes.
• Other giving methods: Gifts made by cash, check, or credit card generate a paper receipt but will not appear on your pay stub.
• PTO donations: When donating PTO hours, the process is reflected differently on your paycheck:
  • The value of your donated hours is added to your gross pay.
    Example: 10 hours at $25/hour = $250 added to gross pay.
  • Standard payroll taxes (federal, state, Medicare, Social Security, etc.) are withheld.
  • After taxes, 65.72% of your PTO donation is directed to the foundation.
    Example: $250 × 0.6572 = $164.30 net donation.

Your PTO contribution will appear as a separate deduction at the bottom of your paycheck, distinct from other donations, and you will receive a tax receipt for the net donation amount.
