Join the CCC - and Our State Employee Tradition of Giving, Caring and Sharing
What is the Colorado Combined Campaign?
The Colorado Combined Campaign (CCC) is the charitable workplace giving campaign of Colorado state government employees. The state established the campaign in 1987 as a beneficial way for employees to easily and efficiently donate to nonprofits and support their communities.
How does donating through the CCC work?
As a state employee, you're in charge of your giving. This year, you can choose from 550 Colorado nonprofits that represent 21 different causes and every corner of the state (click here to explore the options available to CCC donors). You can also decide how to give. Most employees give through payroll contribution (a few dollars each pay period), but you can also make a recurring credit card donation or a one-time donation with cash, check or credit card. There is no minimum donation. Signing up is easy, either online or with a paper pledge form. However you participate, you’re a part of a culture of giving that helps our state be even better.
What’s the advantage of workplace giving?
Workplace giving has traditionally been one of the most popular ways for people to give. Because you give incrementally (a little bit each pay period), you can give more than you might ordinarily be able to. It’s empowering. Also, the strength of many donors coming together to give keeps administrative costs low, both for the campaign and for the recipient charities.
How much has the CCC raised over time?
Since 1987, the CCC has raised $34 million for Colorado charities. In 2017, state employees made 6,000 donations totaling $945,000. Donors on average gave $371 apiece, or about $30 per paycheck.
Who runs the CCC?
The CCC is overseen by state employees, for the benefit of state employees. An Advisory Committee of employee volunteers from across state government meets each month to set policy, approve plans and budgets, and evaluate participating nonprofits. The CCC is an independent, audited nonprofit organization registered with the Colorado Secretary of State. It is managed day to day by Community Shares of Colorado, an expert in workplace giving campaigns.
How do I sign up?
Make a credit/debit card or e-check donation (recurring or one-time) or give with cash or a check anytime at iPledge, the CCC's online giving platform. From September to January (open enrollment season), you can also sign up for payroll contribution, either online or by using a paper pledge form. To sign up for payroll contribution after January, contact the CCC for help!
