A Really Big Check

This fall, State of Minnesota employees will again be able to make payroll-deducted contributions to support the work of Peace Maker Foundation schools.
Last fall, State of Minnesota employee pledged to contribute more than $20,000 to support safe school and youth violence prevention initiatives. It was an honor to be a part of the State of Minnesota Combined Charities Campaign.
During last year’s campaign, State of Minnesota employees pledged to contribute more than one million dollars to Minnesota charities.

We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the giving decisions of more than 50,000 State of Minnesota employees!
