Even in the midst of a global pandemic, staggering uncertainty, and 6 feet apart, we came together (virtually) and raised a record-breaking $2.39M for 945 nonprofits and our community in 2020!

Employee Giving Program Ambassadors made that happen. We can’t thank those of you who served last year enough for your commitment and dedication to supporting our community during the stressful, life-changing year. 

This year is just as important as we move from response to recovery. Nonprofit organizations play a vital role in building a new way forward. Hope is on the horizon when we work together. 

Employee Giving Program Ambassadors play an important role in connecting us to each other and our community especially during this time.

A Renewed Sense of Opportunity, Action, and Hope

As an Ambassador, you are the heart and soul of our Employee Giving Program team. We can NOT run this program and support so many great causes without you. You are the key to making sure that every King County employee has the chance to connect to a cause in the program they are passionate about.

Join us and bring your creativity to life, expand your technology and digital communications skills, and bring joy while building community and connection for your teams.
