The purpose of the Fund to conduct an annual campaign to collect voluntary charitable fund contributions in amounts designated by state employees for qualified charitable agencies approved by the Utah State Employees’ Charitable Fund Board. The campaign encourages and enables State employees to contribute to non-profit agencies easily and confidentially. The campaign runs approximately from September to November to ensure that employee sign-up is completed by December of each year. Payroll deductions begin in January of the following year.

The Charitable Fund provides an opportunity for all State employees to support non-profit agencies through payroll deduction. It eliminates administrative costs—100 percent of contributionsgoes to the agency or federation employees designate. The Fund informs State employees about the critical role non-profit agencies play in our communities and our world. The Fund encourages generous, voluntary participation and preserves an employee's confidential right to give or not give.
