Thank you for making CHKD a special place for our children.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is my gift recognized?

To support our goal of 100% participation, we are honored to recognize our employee and physician donors in the following ways:

All donors receive a limited-edition badge reel or safety lanyard to wear with pride. Donors will receive either a reel or a safety lanyard depending on the policies of their facility.
Employees who give $1,000 or more annually ($38.46 per pay period or $88.33 a month) receive an exclusive badge charm.
All employees who donate each calendar year or set up a new payroll pledge during the annual campaign will be recognized on the first floor of the main hospital on our employee donor board. If you do not want your name listed, please email us at EmployeeGiving@CHKD.org. No gift amounts will be included with names. The display will be updated annually to recognize the previous year’s supporters.

How can I calculate my yearly gift if I choose to give via payroll deduction?

There are 26 pay periods in one year. Please see the sample chart below.

What if I'm already giving via payroll deduction?

Thank you for supporting the kids! We hope you continue to give and even consider increasing your gift. All Employee Giving payroll deductions will continue unless you note otherwise or contact us. To increase your gift, please complete a new giving form or contact the Philanthropy Office at (757) 668-7070 or EmployeeGiving@CHKD.org.

When I donate PTO, am I taxed on that income?

Yes, PTO is taxable income, so you are liable for the taxes on the donated amount. You may donate additional PTO to cover the taxes on the donated amount. The online KDnet form provides both options for you. If considering a PTO donation and you have further questions, please call Laurie Sparrow in Payroll at (757) 668-7103.
