What is Combined Giving?
The Combined Giving Campaign is a program that allows County employees to donate to charitable organizations. Employees are able to initiate charitable contributions throughout the year, helping to sustain and grow our local communities.
The Combined Giving Campaign plays an important role in supporting several elements of the Countywide Vision by providing a means by which the County collaborates with charitable organizations, engages our employees in charitable endeavors, and makes a difference to our community by providing resources to our residents.
The Combined Giving Campaign generates approximately five hundred thousand dollars each year that goes towards hundreds of worthy causes.
Making contributions is easy – just log into EMACS! Watch this short video to see how to set up and change your deductions through the Combined Giving EMACS Self-Service Module.
