Charitable giving helps ‘Recover, Rebuild, Revive California’
This year’s Our Promise campaign theme is “Recover, Rebuild, Revive California” highlighting the many nonprofit organizations fueling California’s comeback. They are helping Californians recover from the many challenges its residents have faced, and the sacrifices they have made, during the last 18 months.
No matter their mission, California’s nonprofits have stepped up to help in big ways, such as:
- supporting people through financial hardship
- children’s support
- providing food and hygiene items
- assistance with medical care
They are still hard at work helping Californians through wildfires and the challenges of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Our Promise: California State Employees Giving Back at Work offers CDCR and CCHCS staff the opportunity to donate to nonprofits through voluntary payroll deductions.
Each year the Our Promise campaign publishes a Nonprofit Guide, providing an overview of the Our Promise giving process. The guide also lists hundreds of nonprofit donors to support.
But remember, just because a nonprofit isn’t listed on the official guide doesn’t mean you can’t support them. All you need is the organization’s name, tax ID number and address, so the campaign can confirm their 501(c)(3) status.
To donate, sign up at Cal Employee Connect, a web-based, self-service, portal for California state employees. Cal Employee Connect allows employees to access their pay warrants online and make voluntary one-time or ongoing donations to charities.
