The Our Promise 2025 campaign recently kicked off at CDCR and CCHCS headquarters in Elk Grove.
The Our Promise: State Employees Charitable Campaign offers state workers the ability to support the nonprofit causes they are passionate about through payroll giving or one-time donations.
The 2025 campaign runs Nov. 1-30, coordinated by Lisa Hamer, with CDCR, and Jonathan Knyff, with CCHCS.
Employees can learn more about the Our Promise Charitable Campaign on Cal Employee Connect or visit the Our Promise website.
