Dear friends and colleagues,

Time is running out to contribute to this year’s campaign via payroll deduction! Please complete the form by December 20, 2024. This year the process is easier than ever, with step by step instructions available.

One-time donations have also been improved with the ability to pay with credit card, PayPal, or Venmo. We accept checks and ach/wire transfers as well.

Please support the eleven local non-profit organizations selected by the Community Works committee based upon your nominations. These agencies have demonstrated their ability to address important community needs such as, but not limited to, introducing underprivileged youth to the arts, health, education, food assistance, community building, immigration, and animal welfare.

Each organization receives an equal share of the Community Works funds raised. One hundred percent of the contributions go directly to the agencies as Vassar assumes all the administrative costs of the campaign. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution via payroll deduction, credit card, or check.

For more information on grant recipients and to make a donation, please visit our website at communityworks.vassar.edu. All contributions are important no matter the amount!

Sincerely,

The Community Works Committee

Nicole Scalessa (chair), John Bradley, Kelly Ceely, Jolee DuBois, Doreen Hammell-Backer, Rose Hartman, Dana Kleinhans, Sonja Krekun, Miriam Mahdaviani, Tracy O'Neill, and Amanda Potter
