The act of giving is a very personal thing. It's a thoughtful choice as it often reflects worldly causes most important to you, and supports those in need with whom you share a similar goal or outlook.

At CityU, our students benefit directly from your support. In the past year alone, CityU has provided more than $350,000 to help students go to school. We could not have accomplished this significant achievement without the generosity of our donors. And, we wouldn't ask you to do something that we wouldn't do ourselves. Just this past June, our employees raised more than $25,000 for our students through our "Dare to Make a Difference 2010 Internal Fundraising Campaign."

You don't have to wait for our next fundraiser. Here are some of the ways you can support CityU students now:

• Give By Phone � you can make a donation by calling 1.800.426.5596 x7607 or 425.709.7607
• Give in Installments � you can divide your gifts into monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual payments by credit card
• Matching Gifts � Many employers will match an employee's donation to an institution or charity. Policies vary depending on the employer, but matches can be anywhere from 50% of your gift to a 3 to 1 ratio. Check with your human resources department to see if there's a matching program at your company.
