COMMUNITY SHARE OF MID OHIO

A workplace fundraising campaign coordinated by Community Shares of Mid Ohio allows employees to make gifts to nonprofits through payroll contributions. Payroll contributions allow:
--Most people to give more than they could with a one-time gift
--Everyone to invest in their community.
--People to spread their gift out over a year.
--Donors to choose the non-profits they want to support.
--Donations to be made to more than one charity.

Why should I give through Community Shares instead of directly to the agency?

We do not want to discourage you from giving to us directly. Payroll deduction is another way for you to support your community. Payroll deduction works for many people because:
1) it’s an easy system that works;
2) it may allow you to give more money because it is spread over a year’s time; 3) it is an automatic process.


The percentage of workplace donations retained by Community Shares is 22%. This amount is determined by the Community Shares member organizations. We encourage you to call or visit Community Shares or any of our agencies if you have questions or concerns about administrative fees. Community Shares utilizes volunteers from our member agencies to cooperatively manage and govern Community Shares and keep costs as low as possible.
