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.
A $3000 gift from you provides
$6,000 for CSE's Google Endowed
Scholarship.
- Go to
this website,
check the "Google Endowed Scholarship" box, and hit
"Continue" at the bottom.
- You can also give to our Annual Fund or our Innovation
Endowment,
here.
- Once you have made your contribution to CSE, obtain
the matching funds from Google.
Employees register their contribution on an internal
website, and quarterly these gifts are verified between Google
and UW and the corporate match is forwarded.
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, as backup.
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.
- If you need to provide any detailed information "manually" as part
