Public engagement activities supported by campus resources are most effective when they are closely tied to the other missions of the university, namely research, teaching and economic development. The Public Engagement Grant Program supports proposals that contribute to these other missions of the university. http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/2220/27895612 http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/2220/27895612 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 08:30:00 CDT Give here: http://www.ccfd.illinois.edu/give ------ The Campus Charitable Fund Drive (CCFD) is the only annual, combined charitable giving campaign for the employees at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Through the eight-week CCFD, University employees can help improve the lives of people in our community and around the world. CCFD gives University employees precise control over where their contributions are spent. Whether you want to help alleviate poverty and hunger, preserve a natural area, fight discrimination, prevent child abuse, or cure a deadly disease, there is a nonprofit working to see these goals become reality.------ Since 1929, contributions from U of I employees on the Urbana-Champaign campus, retirees and Foundation employees help support eleven social service agencies and more than 600 other non-profit organizations. In 2012, U of I employees contributed more than $1.25 million to the Fund Drive.-------- The Drive would not be possible without the efforts of our college and unit leaders who represent every unit on campus. They attend training, come to interim report events throughout the campaign and rally the employees in their departments to give generously.------ CCFD is operated parallel with the dates for the State Employee Combined Appeal (SECA). CCFD is coordinated by the Office of Public Engagement at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/2220/27974084 http://illinois.edu/calendar/detail/2220/27974084 Mon, 16 Sep 2013 12:00:00 CDT All campus and community members are invited to attend the Agency Fair.
