Philanthropy drives everything that we do at CEO. Each dollar we receive is invested in programs and operations that expand our capacity to reach more people and reinforces our ability to respond to the immediate and complex needs of our participants.

We believe that everyone, regardless of their past, deserves the chance to work toward their full potential and shape a stronger future for themselves, their families, and their communities. On behalf of the thousands of individuals whose lives have been transformed through the dignity of work, thank you for considering a gift to CEO.

Matching Gifts

Does your employer have a matching gift program?

Some employers have matching gift programs that multiply the philanthropic impact of their employees. We encourage our donors to take advantage of the opportunity, particularly as retirees and spouses of employees may also qualify for a corporate match.

Contact your employer to find out whether they have a program, or click here.
