Microsoft Giving Campaign

Microsoft employees can support the Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE) in a variety of ways, including donations of cash and/or stock. In addition, Microsoft will match your donation (up to a total of $12,000 per employee per year).

Here are the key things you need to know:

  • Your gift to the Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering through the University of Washington Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, is tax deductible and eligible for Microsoft's corporate match. The Foundation's Federal EIN is 94-3079432.
  • Complete information on the Microsoft Employee Giving Program is available on the Microsoft internal web at //give.
  • You may donate through several methods, including donating stock or cash via check, credit card, or payroll deduction. You may also donate software products at Microsoft employee purchase prices.
