‘Count Me In’ Campaign Participation Increases

The 193 faculty and staff members who participated in the “Count Me In” giving campaign during this year’s open enrollment period contributed to a 23 percent increase from last year’s campaign. 

“These participants chose to make a gift to support Duquesne students via payroll deduction,” explained Monica Cooney, associate director of advancement communications. “We are pleased to report that 12 percent of Duquesne faculty and staff contributed, as participation sends a clear message of faith and confidence to alumni, friends and organizations considering gifts to Duquesne. The impact of these gifts is magnified as they inspire the generosity of others.”

Faculty and staff who were not able to give through payroll deduction this year can still send a check or make a one-time or recurring gift by credit card.

“Your gift makes the Duquesne experience better and more affordable for all and underscores your personal commitment to our shared mission,” Cooney said. “Employees will again have the opportunity to renew their support or make a new gift through the ‘Count Me In’ campaign during open enrollment in spring 2019.”
