Employee Giving Programs

Making a donation to the charity of your choice through a workplace giving campaign is convenient and often allows the donor to give a significant donation over a long period of time. For example $5 off of an every two week paycheck, would amount to a total annual donation of $130!
The Government of Canada Workplace Charitable Campaign offers federal employees the opportunity to designate a donation to CHS-MC through the HealthPartners section of the pledge form. The All Charities Campaign is the official workplace campaign through which current and retired employees of the Government of Manitoba and its affiliates are able to give to charities of their choice.  2017 marks the 50th anniversary of the All Charities Campaign. CHS-MC is listed in the campaign catalogue.
