Together our generosity unites us!
We invite you to make a charitable donation during our employee giving campaign called Together We Care! Our workplace and community are stronger when we unite to give to the causes we care about. You can select programs and departments within the Hennepin Healthcare, Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute or any qualifying community nonprofit. Our donation portal makes it easy to contribute through payroll deduction or a one-time gift.
Whatever the amount, your donation combines with hundreds of others to support meaningful work.
Make your donation between October 2-21, 2023. Your enrollment in payroll deduction goes into effect the first pay period of January 2024. It does not auto renew, you must elect to donate each year.

Together We Care is the name of our annual workplace giving campaign. Employees can establish payroll deductions or make one-time gift. Qualifying staff can also donate PTO or transfer HHS Business Expense Account (BEA) funds to programs within Hennepin Healthcare. The Hennepin Healthcare Foundation leads this campaign to offer you a moment to support the programs and charities that mean the most to you. Many programs rely on contributions to exist. During your workday, you likely encounter equipment, employee training, or patient experience efforts supported by philanthropy. You have the power to make a difference!
New in 2023 is a matching gift challenge for any first time donor to TWC. If you have never participated in Together We Care, you can have your payroll deduction, credit card or check donation matched, dollar for dollar, if you designate your gift to one of eight select programs that enhance the patient experience at Hennepin Healthcare. The $20,000 matching funds are from our Adventurama summer fundraiser that attracted donations in support of patient comfort and care.
The eight programs are: Children's Literacy 300, Emergency Clothing Room 129, Extraordinary Kids 121, Family Lodging Assistance 151, Immediate Food Support 650, Inspire Arts 410, Patient Experience 150, Spiritual Care 402.
Because PTO value is not known until February of 2024, donations of PTO are excluded from this match, along with BEA contributions.

Yes, employees can set up donations using payroll deductions throughout the year that support HHS/HHRI. However, it is only through the Together We Care campaign that you can support external charities using payroll deduction. We thank the payroll team for the extra effort to set up the process to distribute donations to external charities at the start of each calendar year.
