The Marshall University Foundation invites faculty and staff to participate in the Marshall University Family Campaign by enrolling in payroll deduction throughout April.
During the month, faculty and staff can sign up for payroll deduction, allowing them to make a lasting impact through regular, automated contributions. Donors can choose to direct their contributions to a specific scholarship, program fund or the Annual Fund. The Annual Fund is essential for supporting key university initiatives, especially addressing the university’s most urgent needs. Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps shape the future of Marshall University.
“Faculty and staff support is crucial to our success, and payroll deduction makes it easy to contribute. It allows you to spread your gift throughout the year, making it automatic and more convenient for your finances,” said Griffin Talbott, senior director of annual giving for the Marshall University Foundation.
Enrolling this month will also count your gifts toward the university’s fourth annual Day of Giving, taking place on April 23 and 24. This virtual event encourages the Marshall community to come together and make a lasting impact on students while shaping the university’s future. Last year, donations surpassed $176,000, and this year, the goal is to exceed that amount.
During the Marshall Foundation’s Gratitude Week last fall, Mike McCarthy, vice president of information services for Marshall Health Network and chief information officer for the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine had this to say about his years of giving through payroll deductions:
“I would say it’s a feeling of connection,” McCarthy said. “You’re making a positive contribution to what you know is a worthwhile institution and one from which you have benefited as well, so you can ensure future generations can benefit.”
