Employee Giving - Ohlone College Foundation
The Employee Giving Campaign is the perfect opportunity for you to show your support for your favorite campus initiative or program. Every day you will witness the results of your giving at work—whether it's helping fund a program or a scholarship that made college possible for a student in need.
It's not the amount of your gift that is important—what matters most is your participation. Corporations and donors often look at our employee participation as an indicator of our strength. Your support sends a strong message to our community by showing your commitment to the college mission.
To enroll in Employee Giving, please fill out the Employee Giving Campaign Form (PDF) and return the completed form the Foundation drop box in the Mailroom or to the Foundation Office in Building 27 on the Fremont campus.
Thank you for your support!
