Employee Giving Campaign and Gift-Matching Program

The KP Colorado Employee Giving Campaign is back: October 10 – November 30, 2022.

Our annual Employee Giving Campaign is an opportunity for you to personally support many charities you are passionate about. Your donations, throughout the year, to approved nonprofits will be matched dollar-for-dollar (up to $1,000, per employee, per year).

Simply sign on to https://kpcogives.unitedwaydenver.stratuslive.com/ at any time to make your donation(s).

During the annual Employee Giving Campaign, October 10 – November 30, 2022, is the only time you can set-up a donation using routine automatic payroll deductions. However, throughout the year you can use a credit card to donate. All donations to approved nonprofits will be matched dollar-for-dollar as part of the annual gift-matching program (up to $1,000, per employee, per year).

In addition, 100% of your donation(s) throughout the year will go to your charity because KP Colorado will cover all administrative costs.

Your contributions make a huge difference to the charities and causes that are near and dear to your heart. Whether you give a little or a lot, your gift makes a real difference, especially when we all give together.
