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 are in charge of your giving. Each year, you can choose from more than 450 pre-vetted Colorado nonprofits that represent 20+ cause areas and every corner of the state (see the CCC Resource Guide for all of the options available to you). 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 one-time or recurring credit/debit card or e-check donation. There is no minimum donation and all state employees are welcome to participate. Signing up is easy, either online or with a fillable pledge form. However you participate, you’re a part of a culture of giving that helps Colorado be an even better place to live, work and play.
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 for the donor and provides sustained funding for charities. Also, the strength of many donors coming together to give keeps administrative costs low, both for the campaign and for the recipient nonprofits.
How much has the CCC raised over time?
Since 1987, the CCC has raised $36.2 million for Colorado charities. In 2020, state employees made 4,421 donations totaling $716,530 that benefitted 432 charities. Donors on average gave $429, around $35 per month.
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 501c3 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?
During active campaign season (traditionally fall/winter), you can sign up online at www.ipledgeonline.org/_coloradocombinedcampaign. In the so-called “off season,” contact the CCC at info@coloradocombinedcampaign.org and we’ll coordinate a payroll gift with your department if that’s you’re preference. You may also make a donation with credit/debit card or e-check anytime at our iPledge site.
