A Message from the Community Works Committee
Dear friends and colleagues,
The Community Works organizing committee is excited to announce the beginning of this year's annual Community Works fundraising campaign!
This year we will strive, once again, to reach our goal of $87,500. We fell a bit short last year so more than ever we need your support. The funds we raise help the selected non-profits meet the ever-growing needs of our neighbors in the Hudson Valley.
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, animal welfare, and domestic abuse.
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!
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.
Credit card and payroll deductions can be made through the website and for a check contribution, please complete and print the online form on the website and submit that and the check to Community Works, Vassar College Box 144, 124 Raymond Ave, Poughkeepsie, NY 12604. ACH and Wire Transfer information is also available on the website. For payroll deductions please submit your pledge form by December 20th.
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
