Employee Giving

Help Strengthen Our School

The talent, knowledge, energy and dedication our faculty and staff bring to College of DuPage have made us what we are today, and are crucial factors guiding us into the future. That shared focus is magnified by the internal community’s willingness to add to our ongoing efforts by contributing financially.

Gifts from our faculty and staff members provide needed financial support to our campus and programs. These gifts demonstrate to community members the commitment we all share to COD’s mission and ideals.

Philanthropy gains momentum from the inside out. The more who give, the more our commitment to COD is demonstrated to all of the college stakeholders and outside funding agencies – these combined efforts will power COD into the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to give to COD?

We all support causes that we believe in and we hope that your involvement with COD leads you to a belief in our shared mission. If so, your financial support is another way you can make a difference and cast a vote of confidence in our future and has a positive impact on grant funding.

Will others know the amount of my gift or where I direct my contribution?

No. Donor information is confidential. We do not release gift amounts or designations without the donor’s permission. We do post donor names on the website for any size donation and donors may elect to be anonymous.

Why is it important for me to give every year?

The loyal giving by the COD internal community, alumni, corporations and community member friends each year supports students and ensures our ability to continue to provide quality education at a fraction of the cost of 4-year institutions. Your ongoing donation is a dependable source that COD can count on throughout the year.

How do I find out if my payroll deduction pledge renews automatically?

Payroll donation is the easiest way to give and allows you to make a larger impact through gifts spread out across the year. You may elect to give every pay period for 1 year (26 pay periods) OR choose any number of pay periods OR choose “no end” (which allows the donation to continue, until you let us know otherwise). Any questions? Contact College of DuPage Foundation at 630.942.2462 or foundation@codfound.org

If I'm still paying on a payroll deduction pledge from last year, how will I know when my pledge is complete?

The College of DuPage Foundation will notify you via email when your pledge is complete along with an invitation to renew your commitment for the new campaign.

Will I receive a year-end tax receipt?

Yes, you will receive a year-end summary of your payroll giving from the COD Foundation at the end of January each year.
