Campus Employee Giving Campaign

The Chabot College Foundation would like to offer you an opportunity to make a monthly donation to the campus program of your choice and take a tax deduction through our Employee Giving Campaign.

 

We have over 500 full-time employees on our campus. If one quarter of us gave $10 a month, that would total $15,000 in support of campus programs per year! These funds are unrestricted and independently managed by the Chabot College Foundation, a separate 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

 

Following are a few opportunities for giving, but you can personalize your deduction to fund any campus program of your choosing. I have attached a PDF with the Payroll Deduction Form which can be returned to the Foundation Office in Room 220. There are no minimum or maximum amounts for giving and ALL contributions make a difference.

 

Textbook Rental Program

Launched in Spring 2009 with one Health textbook, the Foundation has partnered with the Bookstore and ASCC to expand the selections available to our students for Fall 2009 and beyond. We also worked with our Grant Writer and the Bookstore Manager and are awaiting the results of a $250,000 Federal Grant application. This is a self-sustaining program that allows for continuing growth over the years.

 

Title III Grant: Center for Teaching & Learning

Matching Opportunity

Donations to this fund will be matched by the Grant. The funds will be set up in a 20-year endowment which could total up to $500,000 within five years, if we hit our match goal of $50,000 each year. The interest from this endowment is unrestricted and can support a range of professional development, training, and other activities for faculty and staff. You'll hear more about the Center for Teaching & Learning during President Barberena's Welcome at College Day on Friday, August 14th. (Note: These are federal funds that must be matched with non-federal funds. We will lose any unmatched funds if we do not hit our annual goals.)

 

Award/Scholarships

The Foundation manages the funds for the Dr. Robert Carlson Classified Staff Award and three memorial scholarships (Sarah Forsyth, Brett Haagenson and Connie Silva). Contributions to these funds benefit recipients selected by committees annually.

 

Feel free to send me an email or call with any questions regarding the Employee Giving Campaign. I'll report the success of the campaign in a future Hotsheet!
