Charitable Contributions

Contributions through corporate foundations or charitable giving programs, when no goods or services are provided in exchange, are 100% tax deductible. If the corporate donor receives anything of value in exchange for the contribution, the tax-deductible portion is the contribution minus the fair market value.

Workplace Giving Programs

Employee giving programs are an opportunity for companies to engage their workforce to make a positive impact on their community through charitable giving. It’s also a simple and efficient way for employees to make tax-deductible donations to charities they care about, typically with donations taken directly from their paycheck. Visit cecsb.org/corporate-giving for the Payroll Deduction Form template.

Ways to amplify workplace giving programs:

Corporate match - Double your impact by matching paycheck contributions and proceeds from employee-organized fundraisers.
Peer match - Employees are more likely to give if they are asked by friends or co-workers, and even more likely to give when there’s a match offered.
Host a Benefit Event Corporations can host a fundraising event and donate the proceeds to CEC.
