Dear Colleagues,
The Oregon Employees' Charitable Fund Drive for 2020 is here!!   Please do not miss out on your best chance all year to make a budget-friendly charitable donation, using the ease of payroll contribution.

This important once-a-year campaign is a great way for University employees to support charities you are most passionate about.  Many University employees may not know that they have the opportunity to give to more than 750 charities working in Oregon - on issues ranging from health to housing, from social equity to the environment, from animals to arts and culture!  The dollars University employees pledge today have an immediate positive impact<https://www.oregon.gov/gcfs/Pages/Success-Stories.aspx> on both Oregonians' lives and Oregon's livability AND 100% of all employee donations are passed on to umbrella organizations.   Please click on what a donation can do<https://www.oregon.gov/gcfs/Pages/What-a-Donation-Can-Do.aspx> for more information.

Last year COE employees donated $5,605.00.    We are hoping to increase the number of pledges this year.  If every State of Oregon employee gave just $5.00 a month to the Fund Drive, we could raise more than $3.2 million for our nonprofit community. It's amazing what a lasting impact University faculty and employees have when we give together!

Directions for logging in online to provide your generous donation is below.    Thank you very much.
