Remember the Trail at Work

You can now do more than just daydream about the PCT while you are working - you can help support it!

If your workplace has an employee giving program, consider supporting the Trail year-round through payroll deductions. PCTA is a member of the Conservation and Preservation Charities of America and the Independent Charities of America, both of which are nonprofit federations that participate in workplace giving campaigns throughout the United States.

Here's how you can give:

Combined Federal Campaign - This fall, look for PCTA in the campaign brochure for the federal employees' annual fund-raising drive. PCTA will be listed in the Conservation and Preservation Charities of America section.

California State Employees' Charitable Campaign - PCTA will also participate in the fund drive held annually for California state employees. Look for PCTA in your campaign brochure.

United Way - If your workplace participates in a United Way campaign, you may also be able to give to the trail. Through other United Way campaigns, you may find a "donor option" line to designate your gift to PCTA.

Corporate Campaigns - Some companies hold their own workplace giving campaigns. Please speak with your human resources director to see if your company has its own campaign or check here for a list of the companies that participate through the Independent Charities of America.

If you donate through any of these workplace campaigns, it may take us a few months to receive notice of your pledge. We do appreciate all your support, and we will acknowledge your gift as soon as we hear of it. PCTA will offer membership benefits to all donors who provide a workplace campaign receipt in the amount of $35 or more.

For more information on how you can support the PCTA through your workplace, please contact Shari Hansen, Annual Fund Manager, at SHansen@pcta.org or (916) 285-1851.
