How do I appropriately deduct my Penn's Way contribution from my taxes?
Penn's Way contributions made via payroll deduction will occur in following year and should, therefore, be considered deductions for that year’s taxes. Please consult your accountant or tax advisor regarding contributions made via check or credit card.

THANKS A MILLION
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
Each year Penn’s Way calls upon the strength of the Penn community to respond to the needs of those less fortunate. For this year’s Giving is Penn’s Way campaign you answered our call and then some! On behalf of the University and Health System leadership and our charitable partners from Penn Medicine, Philadelphia Alliance for Change, and The United Way, we would like to say THANKS A MILLION! Thanks a million for your commitment to sending a message of hope and support to the vulnerable populations these agencies serve.
Because of your generosity and compassion, the Penn’s Way Campaign met and exceeded its goal of $1,650,000! Our final total was $1,799,878.
We especially applaud the hard work and enthusiasm of the many individual volunteers who served as Penn’s Way Volunteer Coordinators.
Our deepest thanks to them and to you for making the Penn’s Way Workplace Giving Campaign another remarkable success! Thank You.
