THANK YOU for considering
a gift to UW Computer Science & Engineering!
Supporting CSE is as easy as using your credit card
at UW's secure online giving site. It takes only minutes!
will provide a 1:1 match of charitable contributions up to a maximum
of $3,000 per employee per year.
Detailed instructions (please inform
Ed Lazowska
if you encounter problems!):
- A key fund to support is CSE's Google Endowed
Scholarship,
created by dozens of UW CSE alumni working at Google.
UW CSE Ph.D. alumnus Pablo Cohn and his wife Devon Wiel Cohn will match your
gift. And, through the spring of 2008, UW will add
a 50% match to the sum of your gift, Google's match,
and Pablo's match! A $3000 gift from you provides
a total of $13,500 for CSE's Google Endowed
Scholarship -- incredible leverage!
- Go to
this website,
check the "Google Endowed Scholarship" box, and hit
"Continue" at the bottom.
- Note: Both UW and Pablo will match multi-year pledges,
as well as one-time gifts. The pledge can extend over as many
as 5 years, and must be made this spring. A 5-year pledge
of $3000/year would yield a total of $67,500 in student
support! For further information on multi-year pledges,
contact
Ed Lazowska.
- You can also give to our Annual Fund or our Innovation
Endowment,
here. (These gifts will be matched
by Google, but not by Pablo or UW.)
- Once you have made your contribution to CSE, obtain
the matching funds from Google.
Currently, Google does not require verification of your gift from
UW -- employees register their contribution on an internal
website and the corporate match is forwarded quarterly.
Here's how to do it (please inform
Ed Lazowska
if the story changes!):
- On Google's internal matching gift web site, choose
"Submit a New Request."
- The next page asks for gift type: cash/check, stock, or credit card.
This is "certification" to Google that you've made (or will soon make)
your own gift.
- The next page asks for the name of the charity.
The "charity" for all contributions to UW is the
University of Washington Foundation. (The gift
gets routed to the correct internal UW fund by
other means.)
- If you've given to UW before
(to any department or fund), click "Show charities I have previously
designated."
- If not, click "Search for a charity."
Now it gets weird. If you search for "University of Washington"
in the "Agency Name" box, you will *not* find it! Not even if you
enter the full name "University of Washington Foundation."
Instead, though, search for "City=Seattle" and select
"Category=Education Higher." You'll find "University of
Washington Foundation" listed twice. They look to be the same:
same name, same contact, and most importantly same EIN (tax ID
number). Click either.
- Next comes a web form asking for gift date, gift amount,
match amount, and "purpose." Put "CSE Google Endowed
Scholarship" (or "CSE Annual Fund" or "CSE Innovation Endowment"
or whatever) in the "purpose" box. This is how the Google match
gets routed to the correct fund at UW. The match is disbursed
quarterly.
That's all there is to it!
Please let
Ed Lazowska
know that you've made a gift, partly as backup, and partly
so he can put the touch on Pablo.
Further information:
- You can make a multi-year pledge. Contact
Ed Lazowska.
- Although it's more complicated than using a credit card,
there are special tax advantages to making charitable
gifts by transferring appreciated securities -- details
and procedures are
here.
(This makes the most sense for larger gifts, such as creating
your own endowment.)
- You can also mail a check.

of the online process above, here it is:
