Be a Part of Something Big

/

As little as $2 from each paycheck can add up to thousands in donations to the community. Join your colleagues in supporting the County Employees’ Charitable Organization. Donations to CECO help local non-profits and some of our own employees.

Earlier this year, CECO distributed $110,252 in grants to 68 local nonprofit programs and the Employee Crisis Fund at its annual awards breakfast. Your money has helped buy the following items and much, much more:

Help CECO provide greater support to local nonprofits and County employees and retirees in need. Make a one-time or reoccurring donation or encourage another person to support CECO. Be a part of something big.

There’s three easy ways to give: donate through PayPal, set up a reoccurring donation or through automatic payroll deductions.
