Employee, Corporate
and Foundation Giving
Employee Giving
Matching Gifts: If you would like to double the impact of
your gift, ask your HR department about their matching gifts program.
Many companies will match your gift or your spouse’s gift to charity,
even if you are retired.
Workplace
Giving:
Each year federal employees and military personnel donate millions of
dollars through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) benefiting thousands
of not-for-profit organizations. If you are a federal government or
military employee, you can contribute to DBSA through the CFC by writing
0581 on your CFC pledge card. For more information contact the Office of
CFC Operations at (202) 606-2564.
Untied Way:
If your workplace donates to United Way, look for a "donor option,"
"donor choice," or "other 501 (c)(3) organization" line on your giving
campaign form. Then write in Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance,
730 N. Franklin St., Suite 501,
Chicago, IL 60610-7224. Your local United Way will forward your gift to
DBSA.
