HUDSON- CampusWorks, a socially responsible transformation partner serving higher education, is set to celebrate its first annual Impact Weekend, GivingWorks, on July 21 and 22, 2023. This philanthropic weekend begins with a half day of employee training and professional development on Friday. On Saturday, employees will deliver over $33,000 in donations to 27 non-profit organizations and provide volunteer service in their local communities, creating a nationwide ripple of impact.
In May, CampusWorks announced its “Do-Good Grants” initiative, a program that encourages employees to apply for donations of up to $1,250 to support non-profit organizations in their local communities.
“CampusWorks is dedicated to making a positive impact in the communities where we work and live, and an employee-driven philanthropy campaign encompasses the culture of collaboration and empathy in which our company thrives”, said Liz Murphy, CEO and Chief Evangelist of CampusWorks. “With this GivingWorks Impact Weekend, we can lend a hand in our local communities and create lasting change in the world around us.”
Locally, one of this year’s Do-Good Grant recipients is the Columbia-Greene Community College – Foundation, whose mission is offering individualized guidance in a respectful learning environment, inspiring students to reach their academic goals and become engaged citizens. They provide services to the college’s students who are in need by offering scholarships to students who are unable to pay their tuition, and they provide loaner laptops for students who can’t afford to purchase a laptop.
The CampusWorks employee who nominated this organization said, “The College’s Foundation places students first and provides students in need a way to continue their education.”
