Employee donations are used to support these member charities and provide research, patient services and outreach in local communities. Employees designate the charity or charities where they want their donations to go, and Community Health Charities does the rest! Community Health Charities is able to keep donations local through a nationwide system of affiliate offices. With more than 50 years of combined experience in workplace fundraising, Community Health Charities is one of the most cost-effective nonprofit organizations in the country. Community Health Charities keeps national overhead costs at just 7.9%.
Community Health Charities is partnered in some of the largest employee giving campaigns in the country, including American Airlines, Sears, Roebuck and Co., UnitedHealth Group and the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). Millions of employees in corporations, federal agencies, and state/municipal governments nationwide give to Community Health Charities' member health agencies, raising nearly $58 million annually.
With Community Health Charities as part of a workplace giving campaign, employees can touch the lives of people they know and love, and at the same time help someone they have never met by having a charitable donation automatically deducted from their paycheck.
