IX. CREA Foundation Annual Employee Pledge Drive
Overview CREA offers employees the opportunity to contribute to CREA Foundation through payroll deduction and direct donations. The annual pledge drive will be from November 15th – December 1st of each year. CREA Foundation allocates funds through two primary vehicles, financial scholarships to students pursuing post-secondary education pathways; and grants to support college prep, access and success to non-profit organizations. Employees can elect to give via payroll deduction by signing up during Open Enrollment (November 15th – December 1st) or make a direct donation. Employees can also elect to make a one-time contribution to CREA Foundation during the bonus payroll in March of each year. The opportunity to make a contribution will be shared via Paylocity in advance of the bonus payroll date, which typically occurs during the first pay period of March. How does your contribution make a difference? Your gift can make a significant difference in creating opportunities for students experiencing challenges accessing post-secondary education. By working collaboratively together as a team or one big family, we change lives and give students the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty by providing access to education and supporting causes to ensure students complete their degree programs. Additionally, your gift helps us raise funds. When we can go to an investor partner and tell them that our employees support us 100% financially, it makes a strong statement. Every gift count towards meeting our participation goal. Join us in making a difference! Our scholarship per student is $5,000 per year. We currently have 30 CREA scholars at Indiana University Indianapolis and California State University, Northridge. We thank you in advance of your support for CREA Foundation in meeting our mission to break the cycle of poverty among students from affordable housing communities.
