Dear Faculty and Staff,

Each year, Colorado College employees support the annual giving campaigns for the United Way, Community Shares, and Community Health Charities. Donating to these three organizations and the charities they support creates strong local ties that help improve the lives of those who call Colorado home.

Through the efforts of more than 30 CC staff and faculty members who pledged nearly $38,000 last year, many charities and individuals were greatly influenced. Please join us in making a difference in our community by giving what you can, where it matters the most to you personally. No gift is too small and every gift matters. If you have given in the past, you must still complete the necessary information.

For your convenience, there are multiple giving options. Donations can be made through a one-time or re-occurring gift via check or credit card. Past participants often utilize our easy-to-use payroll deduction option, which is another available option. All donations are 100% confidential, eligible for tax benefits, and completely voluntary. If you wish to give online, please go to www.coloradocollege.edu/employeegiving. Additionally, please check your mailboxes for resources that will be delivered to you.

You may choose to support one, all or none of these campaigns; however, I hope you will reflect on the various ways you can engage our local community. If you have any questions, please visit our employee giving website. However you choose to be involved, you help strengthen Colorado Springs, which ensures a stronger Colorado College.

Warm regards,

Jill
