A Tax ID number identifies your designated charity as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Many donors will request this number to validate their donation as tax-deductible. To find the Tax ID of your charity, please contact the CVC charity directly.
CVC is not a charity and doesn’t have a TAX ID number. If you wish to solicit businesses for donations, please contact the charity that you’re raising funds for and request a solicitation letter, which will include the charity’s TAX ID number.
Regarding special events/CVC fundraisers, please collect cash from the event and convert to a check/money order payable to the “Commonwealth of Virginia Campaign (spelled out, please). Along with the check/money order, you will mail the multi-donor special event pledge card and transmittal report to the CVC Lockbox address, which you will find on the CVC website under the “For Coordinators” section. (The pledge card shows who donated and where you want the funds to go (CVC charity), while the transmittal report serves a cover sheet to inform CVC of what’s contained within your mailing.) Please retain copies for your records.
Agency Coordinators may utilize the CVC logo to procure your own promotional/swag items to distribute at your CVC events. VCE has the blue/green, black and white silk screen print of the CVC logo, so you wouldn’t have to pay a charge for that, but for the swag items you want. Please refer to your agency’s policy regarding the use of logos on any agency promotional/marketing materials and procurement through VCE. Please contact cvcsupport@dhrm.virginia.govif you have any questions.
Yes. Please refer to DHRM Policy 4.40 School Assistance and Volunteer Service Leave. CVC will be collaborating with another state agency to capture and measure employee participation/volunteer hours. We hope to have this in place officially, before the 2024 campaign. For the 2023 campaign, Coordinators may encourage volunteering with a CVC charity. After the event(s), Coordinators may submit photos and the volunteer letter from the CVC charity, which should show the total hours volunteered, agency and names of the volunteers to cvcsupport@dhrm.virginia.gov. Agencies will be recognized during the CVC Recognition event for their “Volunteer” hours.
Furthermore, depending on the Toys for Tots workload and smaller food banks, these organizations may not be able to provide Coordinators with a receipt instantly. CVC recommends Coordinators to record the date of the event, number of toys collected and photos from the event and send to cvcsupport@dhrm.virginia.gov. We will refer to your special event request for details. Agencies will be recognized during the post campaign CVC recognition event for their direct giving.
