BACKGROUND: ,
In January, 1990, the Board of Supervisors directed the County
Administrator and the Director of Personnel to explore charity
donation tax incentives for County employees, A survey of other
counties was conducted to determine what benefits they provide to
their employees for their participation in the. combined charities
campaign.
Currently the only `allowable tax deduction to employees as a
result of charitable,( contributions to a non-profit agency is the
standard IRS tax deduction provided when itemized on the
individual income tax return Schedule A. For those employees
who do not itemize, however, this tax break is of no benefit.

United Way of the Bay Area, Combined Health Appeal and the
Environmental Federation of California were also contacted
regarding charity donation tax incentives. The survey revealed
that there are no known monetary incentives for employees.
County employees are, however, encouraged to utilize the service
of various agencies located in the County. The Combined Health
Appeal is committed; to working with their national campaign
office to review the; issue of "charity donation tax incentives"
for contributors and1will report back.
In the meantime, the Personnel Department" Employee Benefits
Division is studying the feasibility of the County providing some
type of charity donation incentive for its employees that would
not be costly, to the "County.
