We are excited to announce a significant update to our nonprofit certification process at United Way California Capital Region (UWCCR) for the Our Promise CA State Employee Giving Campaign and all other employee giving campaigns we manage.
Moving forward, nonprofits will no longer need to undergo an additional certification process with us.
All employee giving campaigns that UWCCR manages now interact directly with GuideStar, allowing donors to search and select nonprofits for their donations from their national nonprofit database. Guidestar verifies valid 501(c)(3) status and compliance with the CA Registry of Charitable Trusts.
What this means for you:
- Your nonprofit will automatically be included in any employee giving campaign managed by UWCCR as long as your nonprofit has a valid 501(c)(3) status and is compliant with the CA Registry of Charitable Trusts.
- No need to complete an additional verification process with UWCCR.
- If your nonprofit has not received donations from UWCCR in the past, you can still be selected and receive donations since donors can search and select valid nonprofits via Guidestar.
Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to our community.
