Welcome

Thank you to everyone who participated in and volunteered for the 2011 City and County Employee Combined Campaign! For information on how much the campaign raised, please click here.

A community that cares is made up of people whose hard work provides for themselves, their families and for neighbors in need. That describes us - City of Madison and Dane County employees.

In the 2010 campaign we gave more than $275,000. This year, we hope to continue to make a difference in our community and around the world and we need everyone's help. If you have never participated in the campaign, please join your co-workers in supporting the worthwhile charities in the campaign. Even small contributions, like $1 per pay period, make a big difference.

To donate, choose from more than 300 wonderful local, national and international nonprofit agencies. Donate through payroll contribution or by a cash contribution and then watch your gift work. Together we provide services to people with disabilities, the elderly, victims of abuse and violence, and the homeless. We protect our lakes, rivers and forests. We feed and shelter disaster victims, and help people around the world.

Together, we share in these tough economic times because that’s who we are: People who care and are committed to making the world a better place.

Together, we make a difference!
