Explanation
Beyond regular work duties, many General Government and GRU employees seek to support the Gainesville community in a variety of ways including volunteering for non-profit organizations and providing financial support for the efforts of these organizations. The City of Gainesville facilitates the ability of employees to provide financial contributions through the annual United Way Workplace Charitable Giving Campaign.
The City allows employees to make contributions to the Campaign through payroll deduction and one-time contributions. The recently concluded Fall 2014 Campaign raised a total of $92,400.72. The funds raised through the General Government and GRU campaigns constitute one of the largest contributions by organizations participating in the United Way of North Central Florida's Workplace Charitable Giving Campaign.
Representatives of General Government and GRU will make a presentation to the United Way of North Central Florida.
Fiscal Note
Contributions are made by individual employees through payroll deduction and/or one-time contributions.
