King County’s Employee Giving Program gives employees access to support the causes and communities that matter most to them. The 2024 Annual Giving Drive, which ran from Oct. 7 through Nov. 22, 2024, was focused on small acts adding up to big impacts and the drive did just that. Employees are able to participate in the drive in numerous ways including monetary donations, donating time, and volunteering their skills. The total amount of dollars given throughout the 2024 drive was $2.37 million, a 3% increase in dollars year over year. There was an 11% increase in donors. We welcomed 875 new connections – since we have started recording this metric, this is the highest we have recorded in a single year. There was a 18% increase in employees using their volunteer benefit or pledging to volunteer and an 11% increase in hours pledged.

“Thousands of employees contributed their time, resources, and skills to help make the 2024 Annual Giving Drive a success,” King County Executive Dow Constantine said. “I am thankful for the generosity and collective efforts of King County employees and our incredible Employee Giving Program staff, and I’m proud to work alongside all of them.”  Read more.
