Carilion Cares, I Care Employee Campaign Information Page

 

Each fall, our Carilion Cares, I Care campaign invites employees to support the programs and departments that mean the most to them. What began as support for the Employee Emergency Fund has grown to benefit over 60 Foundation funds supporting our patients, hospitals, and staff.

Please note: Due to the Workday transition that occurred last year, the payroll deduction process has changed. Be sure to follow the instructions if you plan to make a payroll deduction gift.

Since 2013, your generosity has helped raise over $3 million—directly benefiting Carilion causes. 100% of your contribution goes to the fund(s) you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What will my donation support?

It’s your choice! You may choose to direct your donation to any of the Foundation’s funds. Popular choices are the Employee Emergency Fund, the Patient Care Fund, and the fund for Carilion Taubman Cancer Center. You may also choose to direct your contribution to the hospital of your choice or one of the many departmental funds, the decision is up to you.
