The CFD offers three different payroll contribution methods: Monthly One-time Limited-time Employee selects a charity, start Employee selects a charity, pay date Employee selects a charity, start date and amount and amount date, end date and amount Donation runs until employee Donation is taken out on specified Donation is taken from each cancels or separates from state date paycheck during specified time government Fundraising Events Chili cookoffs, silent auctions and coin drives are just a few ways to raise money for charities in your community. You can give cash, check or with credit cards at CFD agency fundraising events. Personal Checks A personal check must be written to the Combined Fund Drive during the campaign. The CFD cannot accept checks made payable to a specific charity. The check must be accompanied by a paper contribution form highlighting the charity that a donor chooses. METHODS OF GIVING Online Giving Donors can manage their accounts online by visiting www.cfd.wa.gov and clicking on the “Donor Sign-In” box at the top of the page, where they can log in using their employee ID number and donate any time. Donors can also give using the CFD search engine. Paper Contribution Forms Employees can also give to charity by filling out a paper contribution form and specifying the charity of their choice. The form must be filled out, signed and sent to the CFD office. How to Volunteer Tracker The CFD recognizes that sometimes giving money just isn’t an option for everybody. For our member charities, giving time can be just as crucial in saving money as receiving a monetary donation. Since 2013, the Combined Fund Drive has been tracking volunteer hours that state employees log with any of our member charities. At the end of the campaign, special recognition is given to agencies who log the most hours.

  • An Early Warning Program for Harmful Algal Blooms in Puget Sound
    An Early Warning Program for Harmful Algal Blooms in Puget Sound Harmful Algae Puget Sound is one of the most naturally beautiful and ecologically diverse locations in the Pacific Northwest. However, these waters are home to several species of algae that can produce deadly toxins when water conditions encourage their populations to explode. During these harmful algal blooms (HABs), the algae and their toxins accumulate in shellfish, and are also transferred up the food chain to marine and terrestrial animals. High concentrations of some algal species can sicken or kill marine birds, mammals or humans and can cause fish to die in large numbers. The SoundToxins program We formed SoundToxins—the Partnership for Enhanced Monitoring and Emergency Response to HABs in Puget Sound—to combat the apparent increase in these HAB occurrences over the past decade. SoundToxins is a diverse partnership of shellfish farmers, fish farmers, environmental learning centers, volunteers, local health jurisdictions, colleges, and Native American tribes that was conceived and initiated by Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC), and is now co- directed by Washington Sea Grant (WSG). SoundToxins has grown from four partners in 2006 to over 28 partners in 2017, some of whom monitor multiple sites in Puget Sound. SoundToxins has three main objectives: • To document unusual bloom events and new species entering Puget Sound. • To determine the environmental conditions that promote the onset and flourishing of HABs. • To determine the combination of monitoring parameters that provide the earliest warnings of these events. Monitoring Puget Sound Pseudo-nitzschia SoundToxins samples phytoplankton, These algae are pennate diatoms that can produce a or single-celled algae, throughout toxin called domoic acid.

EDRS PRICE MF-$0.76 HC-$4.43 Plus Postage DESCRIPTORS *Cooperative Programs; *Educational Radio; Higher Education; *Programing (Broadcast); *Questionnaires; Shared Services; Statistical Data; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS Cooperative Program Tape Networks ABSTRACT Over 200 noncommercial radio stations responded to a survey to gather data on the characteristics of member stations and to sample the opinion of nonmembers toward a cooperative network concept. A second survey of 18 networks sought to gather indepth information on network operation. Results showed that 22.2 percent of the stations surveyed were participating in program cooperatives, and over 79 percent felt that network participation would be beneficial. It was concluded that the cooperative program tape network should continue in order to fulfill specialized programing needs. A copy of the two questionnaires, the letter of transmittal, and the mailing list is appended. A list of the networks that participated in the study, 12 statistical tables, and a 20-item bibliography are included.

  • Building Stronger Stations Progress Toward Goals for Audience Service, Financial Support, New Channels, and Partnerships
    Building Stronger Stations Progress Toward Goals for Audience Service, Financial Support, New Channels, and Partnerships By Thomas J. Thomas & Theresa R. Clifford Uncertainty over future federal funding for public broadcasting during the 1995 “Gingrich crisis” had a powerful focusing effect, directing attention to stations’ financial capacities and operating efficiencies as never before. Even absent the debate on Capitol Hill, however, most SRG member stations had reached a point in their development where bold steps toward new capacities and organizational arrangements were timely and appropriate. To fulfill ambitions of significance in the life of their communities, it was clear that SRG stations STATION RESOURCE GROUP 6935 Laurel Avenue Takoma Park, MD 20912 301.270.2617 FAX 301.270.2618 WWW.SRG.ORG SRG’s forty-six member licensees operate 164 public radio stations, account for over a third of public radio’s audience and financial support, and produce the majority of public radio’s national programming. SRG informs station leaders with in-depth analysis and long-term planning, fosters dialogue, connections and collaborations among stations, and works for legislative, regulatory, and funding policies that advance public radio nationwide. Copyright © 2000 by Station Resource Group BUILDING STRONGER STATIONS — 2 needed to grow stronger as organizations. In our shared analysis, this required matching a continuing high level of performance in programming and audience service with comparable efforts in financial and organizational development. In early 1996 we published a multi-year action plan, Stronger Stations, Stronger Service. We outlined several targets we sought to achieve by the end of the year 2000. Reach an average quarter hour audience of a half million listeners—a hundred thousand more listeners on average, a thirty percent increase over current performance.
