Many Americans participate in the employee giving campaign their employer sponsors.  Employees give at work by directing a portion of their paycheck to the charities of their choice, which makes workplace giving the most effective and efficient form of fundraising.  Giving at work has great advantages for both the employees who participate and the employers who conduct a workplace giving campaign.
