About the Community Giving Campaign

What is the Kaiser Permanente Community Giving Campaign?

The Kaiser Permanente Community Giving Campaign is one of the ways we help make our communities better places to live. Last year, KP physicians and employees raised more than $1.4 million for the Community Giving Campaign.

Money raised from the campaign supports charitable organizations that provide extremely important services in our communities, such as:

• Supplying valuable health services
• Fighting homelessness
• Feeding the hungry
• Improving education
• Providing scholarships
• Strengthening families
• Empowering seniors
• Protecting the environment

Can I Choose Where My Contribution Goes?

Yes, you can choose one or more organizations as recipients of your donation. Campaign donors have a multitude of organizations to choose from when making tax-deductible contributions, including:

• Any of KPSC’s six partner federations (Asian Pacific Community Fund, Brotherhood Crusade, Community Health Charities, Earth Share, Hispanic Scholarship Fund, and United Way)
• Any of the federations’ 300 or more member charities
• Any other qualified 501(c)(3) organization you designate

How Do I Donate to the Campaign?

As a Southern California Permanente Medical Group physician or Kaiser Permanente Southern California employee, you can contribute with regular payroll deductions or with a one-time contribution (via payroll, credit card, or check). Take the challenge and become a Leadership Donor with a contribution of $1,000 or more or 1% of your salary.
