The County of Los Angeles is inviting local non-profit organizations to apply to be part of the Workplace Giving fundraising campaign.

A Workplace Giving Campaign is an employer-provided program that allows employees to make regular donations to eligible charities through the company’s payroll system. Not-for-profit groups provide a wide range of health and human services to residents of the county in underserved areas.

Agencies which identify as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, according to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, are invited to submit a letter along with supporting documentation requesting consideration to be part of the Workplace Giving Campaign. Submissions must include a copy of the agency’s independent financial reports for the 2010 and 2011 calendar years.

Every year, county employees donate more than $1 million to the Workplace Giving Campaign through payroll deductions and one-time contributions.

Non-profits that want to apply for the program should send submissions to the CEO Office of Workplace Programs, 500 W. Temple St., Room B-1, Los Angeles, CA 90012, Attn: Marina Rosas.
