About Us

About CHC California

Community Health Charities of California is a federation of America's premier health organizations that have joined together to raise charitable contributions in the workplace. Employee donations are used to support these member charities and provide research, patient services and outreach in local communities. Employees designate the charity or charities where they want their donations to go, and that’s where they go.

By partnering with local employers, Community Health Charities of California connects employees to health and wellness information, volunteer opportunities and the ability to direct donations to the local health charities of their choice. We currently provide access to more than 150 leading charities over 40 regional and national health charities, encompassing almost every well-known disease or disability and many lesser-known ones.

Our Mission:

To unite caring donors in the workplace with our nation's most trusted health charities.

Our operating philosophy is simple:

Health charities deserve the support of the public and private sectors, and have a need to access the workplace.
Individual donors have a right to make an informed decision about their contributions, and about who handles that money for them.
Community Health Charities of California leaves the choice on how much to give and to whom to give to each employee.

Distribution of funds
Community Health Charities of California makes no decisions as to which charities receive funding. The donors determine which of our member charities receive money by means of donor designations. CHCC distributes 89% of every dollar designated to member charities in corporate campaigns. No additional administrative fees of any kind are withheld from designated member charities.
