Matching Gifts
Numerous corporations will match employees’ charitable contributions by often doubling the amount of the original gift. Some companies will even match gifts made by retired employees. Click here to find out if your company has a matching gift policy.
Campus Awards
Three awards are presented at the president’s annual Fall Forum, the Campus Percentage Participation Award, Campus Per-capita Giving Award, and the Campus Total Giving Award. The Participation Award is given to the campus which has the highest percentage of its employees participating in the Family Campaign. The Per-Capita Giving Award goes to the Campus with the highest average gift per employee. The Campus Giving Award goes to the Campus that provides the most support for the Campaign.
Donor Prizes
All donors receive a campaign bracelet when their gift is received. A representative of the Foundation randomly visits all campuses throughout the campaign and awards prizes to donors seen wearing their bracelet.
Honor and Memorial Gifts
The Family Campaign provides a great opportunity to make a gift in honor or in memory of others. If requested, a notice of your gift is sent to the honoree or family members of your choice. You may also choose to designate your gift to an existing scholarship fund established by, in honor of, or in memory of CPCC employees or family members. If you choose this option, please include the name of the fund on the pledge form. Funds are listed below in the drop down for your convenience.
