b. Annual Employee Pledge Drive
Overview Our scholarship program provides $5,000-$10,000 per student each school year. Currently, we have 30 CREA Scholars at Indiana University Indianapolis (IUI) and California State University, Northridge (CSUN), and the University of Connecticut (UConn). CREA offers employees the opportunity to contribute to the CREA Foundation through payroll deductions and direct donations. Employees can choose to give via payroll deduction by signing up during Open Enrollment (November each year) or by making a direct donation. Additionally, employees can opt to make a one-time contribution to the CREA Foundation during the special payroll in March each year. Details regarding the opportunity to contribute will be shared via Paylocity in advance of the special payroll date, which typically occurs during the first pay period of March. How does your contribution make a difference? Your gift plays a crucial role in creating opportunities for students who face challenges in accessing post-secondary education. By working together, we can change lives and help students break the cycle of poverty through education and ongoing support throughout their college careers. Furthermore, your contribution demonstrates strong internal support for our external partners. The financial backing from our employees sends a powerful message. Every gift contributes to achieving our participation goal. Join us in making a difference! We thank you in advance for your support of the CREA Foundation as we work towards our mission to break the cycle of poverty among students from affordable housing communities.
