Just as you closely watch your personal investments and benefit from the compounding of their interest, so too can your agency benefit through its investment with Community Health Charities Texas.

With our own twist on “compounding,” your agency can benefit at varying levels. Basically, the greater your involvement….the greater your gifts.

“Undesignated Gifts”

Almost 15 percent (or $400,000) of the gifts collected by CHC Texas through workplace giving campaigns are donated to our federation as “undesignated.” This means that donors decided to support the overall health option instead of designating their gift to a specific charity (ies). Those funds are shared with our member charities in the same percentage as your designations.

“So, how can my agency receive more of the undesignated funds?” Simply put, there are three major opportunities.

In an effort to help put an end to unnecessary vision loss in children, Prevent Blindness America, a member charity of Community Health Charities (CHC), has developed a comprehensive platform on children’s eye health.  A detailed strategy has been developed to promote children’s vision and eye health and to create a framework for bringing key stakeholder organizations and individuals together to make children’s vision health a national priority.

Because more than 12 million school-age children in America have some form of vision problem, Prevent Blindness America has drafted a comprehensive plan in an attempt to unify all of the important resources from the vision health community to work together to expand vision care services.  "Our hope is that by developing this national platform and strategy, other organizations, specifically in the vision, healthcare, education and public health arenas, will join with us to help promote healthy vision for all children,” said Hugh R. Parry, President and CEO of Prevent Blindness America.
