Employee Giving

Chemeketa Foundation Childcare Scholarships touch the life the enitre family

As an employee of Chemeketa it's never too late to give.

You can make a difference by setting up a payroll deduction today.

How do I contribute?

  • The easiest way for Chemeketa employees to give is through payroll deduction.  Fill out a pledge form, indicate how much you would like to donate each pay period, and that amount will be  automatically deducted from your paycheck, beginning in the month of your choice.
  • A one-time gift can be made in any amount by payroll deduction and this amount will be deducted in the following month.  You may also write a check payable to “Chemeketa Foundation.” We also accept credit cards.
  • Turn in form to the Foundation office, 2/218. You may also email your form to foundation@chemeketa.edu. A minimum of $5 per paycheck ($60 per year) is required for payroll deduction.

Doors Opened in the Past

  • In the past five years Chemeketa Foundation has invested more than $1.5 million to help approximately 1500 students and families succeed, meet their dreams and better their lives through scholarships.
  • Chemeketa employees alone gave over $200,000 in the past 5 years to support scholarships, teaching resources, classroom technology, program enhancement and more.
  • More than 90 percent of Chemeketa students qualify for financial aid each year. In addition, scholarships assist in recruiting students and encourage them to do their best while they are here.
  • Statistics show that students with scholarships graduate at a rate of 15-35 percent higher than other students.

Where does the money go?

  • Your contribution will go toward any scholarship you choose.
  • All contributions go to Chemeketa student scholarship funds or programs. No fees are charged and no funds go to the college, or are controlled by the college.

Chemeketa Community College and Chemeketa Foundation would like to thank all past, present, and future Chemeketa colleagues for their generosity and participation in the Employee Giving Campaign.
