RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT report on the results of the County's 2010 Combined Charities Campaign from Campaign Chair, Ted Cwiek, Human Resources Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

The 2010 Contra Costa County Combined Charities Campaign ran from October 1 through November 5, 2010. A total of 1,078 County employees participated in this year's campaign, and their donations total $286,659.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The participating charity federations included Community Health Charities of California (the lead organization), Bay Area Black United Fund, Local Independent Charities, Earth Share of California, and United Way of the Bay Area. In addition, significant donations were received for several non-profit agencies affiliated with County departments and agencies that support activities and services for County residents. The attached tables reflect a summary of the disbursements of donations to the various federations, and the top five donor departments in terms of total dollar amount and the amount per employee. Also attached is a list of the 2010 Department Campaign Coordinators, who worked with enthusiasm and persistence to get the word out to employees in their departments to complete their pledge forms.

I would like to thank our very generous County employees who, in this time of uncertainty and duress, have once again looked beyond themselves and offered a helping hand through the many worthwhile charities involved in the campaign.
