Metropolitan Council's Charitable Giving Campaign

October 22nd to November 5th

 

Please Note:

  • • Two Federated Funds we have supported in previous years will, unfortunately, be sunsetting at the end of 2021. Learn more from the Minnesota Environmental Fund and Community Shares of Minnesota websites. You can still give to the charities these funds supporting by entering them as a write-in pledge. Check the links for a list of supported charities. Please reach out to campaign@communitysharesmn.org with any questions.
  • • Last year, some employees expressed confusion about the process of entering the "amount per pay period" up front without being able to select a charity. You must first enter the total amount per paycheck that you would like to give. In later steps, you will be given the opportunity to select your charities and divide your total amount pledged as you wish.
