2017 Combined Charities Campaign Starts Today!

Dear Fellow State Employees,

Today marks the start of our 2017 Combined Charities Campaign. With 39 different approved charitable federations participating in our campaign, it’s easy to find a cause that matters to you.

Last year we saw over 2,000 state employees participate in the campaign, donating a total of $786,490. Thanks to your generosity, there are youth summer programs, community arts initiatives, health programs, and other efforts receiving the funding they need to make our state a better place.

I am confident that together we can beat this total in 2017. To learn more about the campaign, and how you can pledge a donation to the charity of your choice, visit the Combined Charities website. This year, the Combined Charities Board has even produced a step-by-step guide to make it even easier to participate.

Thank you for your service to Minnesotans across our state. This October, I hope you will join me in participating in 2017 Combined Charities Campaign. Working together, we can make it a resounding success.

Sincerely,

Tina Smith
Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota
