<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Charitable Fund Drive is an annual, combined charitable giving campaign tailored to meet the needs and wishes of employees of the state of Oregon. The Charitable Fund Drive helps state employees create the future each of you wants to
see become a reality in Oregon. Whether you care about Oregon's animals, arts and culture, environment, equity and human rights, health, housing, families, or anything else - there is a nonprofit working for these ideals. Donations can be made starting now
through December 31, 2022.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">You can support any of approximately 800 nonprofits or issues through the Fund Drive by making just one charitable gift. Oregon's Charitable Fund Drive was implemented in 1989 as a way to offer access to this wide range of nonprofits through
an easy, once-a-year campaign that gives state employees precise control over where their contributions are spent. Last year, state employees contributed more than $784,000 to the Fund Drive.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When you contribute to the Charitable Fund Drive, 100% of your contribution goes to the organizations you designate. Last year's Fund Drive administrative costs were less than 10% of the overall funds raised, less than half of many other
states' campaigns. These costs are paid by the funds and federations in the campaign; no donor or state funds are used. The Charitable Fund Drive Committee members realize that keeping fundraising expenses low is extremely important to the success of the
Fund Drive. The Committee and the Campaign Management Organization (CMO) work hard to keep costs down.<o:p></o:p></p>
