Have you searched through the Our Promise Donor Resource Guide with no luck in finding your favorite nonprofit? Have you wondered how to help your favorite nonprofit get into the guide? You can help, and the application process is just beginning!

Nonprofits apply on an annual basis with United Way California Capital Region for an opportunity to be listed in the Our Promise Donor Resource Guide, handed out to all California state employees. Once the application process closes, the applicants are submitted to the Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board who approve the nonprofits that will be eligible to receive designated payroll donations based on certification that the nonprofits comply with statutory requirements. The Board does not independently investigate the nonprofits other than to verify their federal tax-exempt status and review their self-certifications of compliance with applicable California Department of Fair Employment and Housing Regulations. The Board’s determination is not an endorsement of any particular nonprofit.
