Have you heard about our combined charities campaign?

Are you an employee that would like greater choices at your workplace when making a charitable contribution?

Whether you are establishing a workplace giving program for employees for the first time or looking to expand the current program, the Combined Charities Campaign model has much to offer.

At present, the Public Interest Fund of Illinois manages a number of payroll deduction campaigns at workplaces which generate over $1 million dollars for charities serving communities throughout Illinois. In the Chicago area, we manage a number of campaigns including those at the Chicago Public Schools and Chicago Transit Authority. In downstate Illinois we manage workplace giving campaigns for both private and public sector employers from the Springfield State Journal Register to Parkland Community College.

Experience shows that both employee participation and overall giving increase dramatically when employees are offered the opportunity to direct their gift to more than 450 charities. Best yet, your payroll office is only responsible for handling just one deduction per employee. Further, there is no cost to you because the participating charities underwrite the cost of the campaign and our staff works with the participating charities to implement all aspects of the campaign including preparing materials, holding employee training sessions and distributing the funds to the charities selected by employees.

There are a number of other features that have made the Combined Charities Campaign very popular with both employers and the charities. For more information, please visit the Combined Charities Campaign website at www.combinedcharitiescampaign.org.
