Why Give Through Payroll Deduction?
Convenience
Donations are made automatically from each paycheck, making it easy to give consistently without having to remember each time.
Simple Tax Advantages
Depending on your employer’s program, contributions may be deducted before or after taxes. In some cases, pre-tax deductions can reduce your taxable income, while post-tax gifts may still be tax-deductible when you file your return.
Small Contributions Add Up
A modest gift each pay cycle can make a meaningful difference over time. For example, $10 every other week adds up to $260 annually, demonstrating how steady, collective giving drives real impact.
Supports Long-Term Progress
Ongoing payroll gifts provide reliable funding, helping Kessler Foundation plan ahead, invest in long-term research, and sustain research that maximizes recovery, independence, and inclusion.
