RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT report on the results of the 2009 Countywide Combined Charities Campaign from Campaign Chair Silvano Marchesi, County Counsel, and Co-Chair Ted Cwiek, Human Resources Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

BACKGROUND:

The 2009 Contra Costa County Combined Charities Campaign ran from October 1 through October 30, 2009. A total of 1,026 County employees participated in this year's campaign, and their donations total $254,628. The generosity of county employees is remarkable and is greatly appreciated by the participating charities.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The participating charity federations associated with the campaign 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. Significant donations also were accepted for several non-profit agencies managed by County departments and agencies that support activities and services for County residents. The following tables reflect disbursements of campaign donations, the top five donor departments, the top five donor departments per number of employees, and the 2009 Campaign coordinators.

Finally, I thank and express the gratitude of the Board, the charity federations, and the individual charities themselves, for our very generous County employees, who made significant donations during this time of uncertainty and concern to them.
