Volunteer opportunities are available for state employees at several CVC charities. Click here to view the list.
- All charities participating in the CVC have been pre-screened to insure that they are fiscally sound and that they perform the services stated.
- Payroll deduction allows you to budget your contribution throughout the year.
- 100% of your designated contribution goes to the charity or charities stated. No administrative fees are taken on designated contributions! (This new enhancement is a result of employee requests, and is in a pilot stage.)
- A percent of each undesignated (or general pool) contribution will also go to your charity of choice, based upon the designated contributions the charity receives. These could be considered matching funds, and increases the power of your contribution.
- Giving through the CVC minimizes the intrusive personal solicitations that might occur if you participate in multiple direct fundraising drives.
- Versatility. The CVC accepts contributions from cash, check, payroll deduction, stock or credit card gifts.
