Combined Charities Campaign

In the 1990s, Illinois employers began expressing concern about the growth of charities certified to participate in workplace campaigns and the potential administrative burden. Recognizing the need to develop a unified program that would simplify the process for employers, the charities pooled their resources and unveiled the Combined Charities Campaign in 1997.

The goal of Combined Charities Campaign is to provide employers with efficient and effective ways to expand or enhance workplace giving campaigns and to respond to growing employee interest in a wider and more diverse range of charitable organizations. It is designed to alleviate the administrative burden for employers while at the same time offering employees greater choices in their workplace giving programs.

The Combined Charities Campaign is not a separate organization. Rather it is a program developed by the charities certified to participate in workplace giving programs in Illinois. It combines our resources and supports the workplace campaign in a single, rather than a multiple, approach.
