UW will provide a 100% (1:1) match for faculty/staff/retiree endowment gifts of between $5,000 and $10,000 paid over as many as 5 years!

You're probably familiar with the Students First student endowment matching campaign: UW will provide a 50% match for any gift (including a group gift) of $100,000 or more that establishes a new endowment to support undergraduate or graduate students. (CSE Students First information here.)

KEEP READING!

There is an entirely separate program that provides a 100% (1:1) match for any gift by a faculty member, staff member, or retiree (including Affiliate faculty members!) that totals between $5,000 and $10,000 over a 5-year period!

As with the Students First matching program, your gift must go towards an endowment that supports students. Unlike Students First, though, your gift can go to a pre-existing endowment -- funds from multiple faculty/staff/retiree donors, matched 1:1 by UW, can be directed towards the same pre-existing fund, building a substantial endowment from a number of matched contributions.

Here are the details:

• The FSR match is available to any UW faculty member, staff member, or retiree (including Affiliate faculty members!).
• You must commit a minimum of $5,000 to obtain the FSR match. Up to $10,000 will be matched.
• Your contribution may be pledged over a period of as many as five years.
• Payments may be retroactive to May 2005. In other words, if you gave to a CSE student support endowment between May 2005 and now (or if you gave to the CSE Annual Fund), that gift can be counted as part of your pledge! (Your entire pledge must be directed to a single fund in order to qualify for the FSR match; we can re-target gifts that were made to the Annual Fund.)
• If you work at UW, you can use payroll deduction to simplify the process. ($80 per paycheck for 5 years would obtain the full $10,000 match.)
• If you are an Affiliate faculty member working at a company that matches gifts, the corporate match will "count" and be matched by UW -- e.g., $5K from you + $5K from your employer will be matched by $10K from UW!
• This is a one-time thing -- $10,000 per person is the limit on the match that can be obtained from this program.
• Pledge forms must be submitted no later than December 2008 in order to be eligible for the match.

• The CSE Educators Endowment 99-0415 (CSEEDU). This is an endowed fellowship fund that supports graduate students in CSE.

• The CSE Undergraduate Excellence Endowment 99-1008 (SCHOEX). This is an endowed scholarship fund that supports undergraduate students in CSE.

• The CSE William Chan Endowment 99-6431 (CHACSE). This endowment provides recognition to the graduate students who author the top Ph.D. dissertations in CSE each year (the dissertations that we forward to the ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award competition).

• Print and complete the pledge form linked here (pdf)
  • Enter the identifying information for one of the above endowments
  • Ignore the "statement of purpose" (that's for new endowments)
  • Enter "Computer Science & Engineering" as the "pledge designation"
  • Check "Fellowship" if you have chosen the CSE Educators Endowment, "Scholarship" if the CSE Undergraduate Excellence Endowment, or "Student Support" if the CSE William Chan Endowment
  • Complete the "intent fulfillment instructions" in accordance with your plans
• Sign the form and return it to Ed Lazowska.
• If you'd like to contribute by payroll deduction, please print, complete, and return to Ed the payroll deduction form linked here (pdf).
• If you are an Affiliate faculty member working at a company that matches gifts, the corporate match will "count" and be matched by UW -- see special information for Affiliate faculty at Google, Intel, and Microsoft. (You should fill out the pledge form for the full amount -- your contribution plus the anticipated corporate match.)
• IMPORTANT: To receive "credit" for a gift made to the same fund (or to the CSE Annual Fund) since May 2005, contact Ed Lazowska. Similarly, contact Ed if you would like to establish a new endowment under the FSR match program, or under the Students First match program.

Great students are the lifeblood of our program. This is a highly leveraged way to support CSE's great students!
