Purpose
|
The Colorado Combined Campaign (CCC) is a workplace giving campaign that enables Colorado state government employees to donate to charities that benefit Coloradans. They can do so by paycheck contribution, cash, check or credit card. Donations to the CCC are voluntary, confidential, and tax-deductible.
State employees may designate their donations to one or more charities or groups of charities known as federations. An Advisory Committee, made up of representatives of most state agencies, sets and enforces campaign guidelines, called bylaws. The advisory committee reviews the federations who sponsor the more than 400 charities in the campaign to determine if they are fiscally responsible and provide the services they say they do. |
The Colorado Combined Campaign was created by executive order in 1987 to improve the state of Colorado by encouraging workplace giving in all departments of state government and state higher-education institutions. The generous donations made by state employees benefit hundreds of nonprofit organizations each year. These organizations are essential to the progress of our beautiful state and range in cause from healthcare to child advocacy to environmental protection and so much more.
State employees who choose to give to the Colorado Combined Campaign are improving the lives of thousands of Coloradans each year. And to them we say, THANK YOU! The campaign could not work without your selfless generosity. |
