Employee Campaigns
Did you know that you can support your employee campaign and have your gift benefit the National MS Society, Southern California Chapter? You can designate your contribution to fight MS and take advantage of easy giving through payroll deduction at your workplace.
Just a small gift from each paycheck adds up to big support for people with MS. For the price of a few cups of coffee each week, your gift could help fund groundbreaking research, underwrite the cost of an employment program for people with MS, or fund a support group or provide a scholarship to MS Camp.
Here’s how you can help:
-
Community Health Charities
- The Southern California Chapter is a member of Community Health Charities of California, a nonprofit organization that funds life-saving research, educational programs and vital services to help people with chronic conditions. If your workplace has a Community Health Charities campaign, you can designate the National MS Society, Southern California Chapter (Code 22) to receive your payroll deduction gift. For more information on Community Health Charities visit www.healthcharitiescal.org.

United Way
- Most United Way campaigns will honor designations to any nonprofit (also known as a 501(c)(3) organization). If your workplace has a United Way campaign, you can write in a designation to the National MS Society, Southern California Chapter in the section set aside for designations to “other 501(c)(3) organizations.” See your workplace campaign coordinator for help.
Matching Gifts
Matching gifts are a great way to maximize your support!
You can often increase the value of your contribution to the National MS Society through a corporate matching gifts program. Many corporations and businesses will match employee gifts to a qualifying nonprofit organization, with differing guidelines in each company (be sure to find out what they are at your employer).
To find out whether your company has a matching gifts program, contact your personnel office or corporate contributions officer. Your company representative can provide you with a matching gifts form, which must be completed and then sent to the Southern California Chapter for processing.
