WHAT IS THE 1200 CLUB GIVING PROGRAM?
The 1200 Club is a giving society newly established by faculty and staff to promote internal support for GC&SU's annual scholarship program, while simultaneously building a self-sustaining endowment to ensure the future security of the scholarship program.

I DON'T HAVE A LOT TO GIVE. WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE? HOW CAN MY GIFT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
The 1200 Club is an opportunity for us to invest in ourselves. Every single gift counts. Our participation represents a vote of confidence in GC&SU and our students, and is a powerful endorsement to the alumni, friends, parents, corporations, and foundations we ask to invest in the university.

HOW MUCH AM I REQUIRED TO GIVE TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE 1200 CLUB?
The amount is up to you; there is no minumum contribution. Recognizing that all of us have financial obligations and limited resources, we respect your right to determine the size of your gift. That you give is just as important as what you give. Because our gifts demonstrate to others our belief in our mission, our goal is to encourage as many faculty and staff as possible to participate. Even small gifts, when combined with the gifts of others, add up to a significant amount. Just think, one hundred gifts of $12.00 will fund a student scholarship.

HOW DO I MAKE A GIFT TO THE 1200 CLUB?
You can join the 1200 Club with a single annual gift by checking the third box at the bottom of this page and sending it along with cash or check made payable to the 1200 Club to Campus Box 096. But the most convenient way for employees to give is through payroll deduction, which enables many of us to make a larger commitment, since it is paid over time. Further, once you've joined the 1200 Club through payroll duduction your deduction will remain in effect until you decide to change it, so you don't have to remember to renew your membership each year. If you are not enrolled in payroll deduction, or if you are enrolled but wish to change or increase your current deduction to include the 1200 Club, return the bottom portion of this page to Campus Box 096, checking the box that applies to your status. You will be sent a new payroll deduction form to fill out, authorizing Payroll Services to automatically deduct from your check each pay period any amount you choose. When you submit a new form, be sure to state all desired deductions and designations. Payroll will disregard any previous instructions, and immediately begin deducting the total amounts indicated on the most current form.

WHO SHOULD I CONTACT IF I HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS?
If you have questions about payroll deduction, please phone Claudie Burchfield, ext. 6930. All other questions may be addressed to any member of the 1200 Club Steering Committee or Wendy Clark in the office of advancement, ext. 5400.
