Employee Giving: THANKS+GIVING
At SoLAcc, our spirit of giving is rooted in the belief that we come together to support one another, ensuring that no one is left behind. Our Employee Giving efforts called THANKS+GIVING, are not just about donations—it’s about connection, collaboration, and creating opportunities for our students and employees.
Throughout the year, employees have the opportunity to make a tangible difference, helping fund scholarships, emergency relief, and programs that empower our SoLAcc family. And each year, your generosity culminates in a holiday celebration. Join us in our efforts, because together, we can transform lives.
2025 Update
We surpassed our $30,000 goal and made over $33,000! This is now officially the largest Employee Giving total in SoLAcc history!

Our goal is participation — every gift is truly important! The SoLAcc Employee Giving Campaign shows the power of each individual. When one person’s gift adds to another’s, and another’s, together, our gifts add up to a significant amount.
In appreciation for your support, the Foundation for SoLAcc will recognize you on our website and in the annual report. However, the amount of your gift will be kept confidential. If you wish to give your gift anonymously, you may designate so on your donation form.
Soleil's Sustainer Circle donors participate in our annual employee giving program at the highest level and have committed to giving $500 or more to the foundation throughout the year. These funds help us provide even more scholarships, emergency funds, and assistance to our students, employees, and college.
Each year, the supporters will gather to celebrate their joint work with testimonies from students who have benefited from scholarships, emergency funds, and more. Members will receive a pin for them to wear to showcase their commitment to SoLAcc.

The Employee Giving Campaign is a great opportunity to make a gift in honor or in memory of someone special to you. At your direction, we can send notice of your gift to the honoree or family members of your choice. You may consider directing your gift to one of our many funds established in honor, or in memory of SoLAcc employees, retirees, alumni and students. Examples include the John Wright Memorial Scholarship, the Craig Strain Memorial Endowed Scholarship, and the Micah Craven Memorial Scholarship.
You may also use funds to establish your own scholarship at SoLAcc. We have employees who use their bi-weekly contributions to total an annual scholarship, SoLAcc’s Lt. Linda H. Brown Memorial Scholarship, Felton Charles Memorial Scholarship, and Kenny Stelly Memorial Scholarship.
Deductions are after-tax, as federal law does not allow for charitable donations through payroll deduction to be deducted before taxes.
The Foundation team would love to chat with your team about the impact of Employee Giving! Would you like to schedule a 5- to 10-minute in-person or Microsoft Teams presentation about the SoLAcc Employee Giving Campaign for your faculty or staff meeting? Contact the Foundation for SoLAcc office at foundation@solacc.edu
2022 CASE
CIRCLE OF EXCELLENCE AWARD WINNER!
From the Judges:
"Excellent commitment to building the culture of philanthropy from within and producing tremendous results in terms of participation rate. We were very impressed with the 76% participation rate and the creativity of the Pie It Forward campaign. The results were more impressive considering it was done in a week-long program. This campaign can certainly serve as a model to be replicated by other institutions."
