I don't mean to be critical, CL, but why would you give to the UW under pressure from your boss? Perhaps next year you could respond to him/her that you do plan to give by sending your money directly to the charity of your choice so as to avoid the wasted administrative overhead. You might even let him/her know what % of your UW keeps in administrative costs. (That figure varies by locale, but you can easily find out by calling yours.)
Just a thought....

I don't take what you wrote as criticism at all. In fact, it is good advice. But, as it goes, people make choices about the kinds of windmills at which they wish to tilt. My boss does not care about the UW, and wouldn't be impressed with my argument about where the money goes. She just wants 100% compliance so that her departmet looks good. I don't want to draw attention to my politics because I need my job, so I keep my nose clean, throw away 10 bucks, and go home at the end of the day.
Yours,
