Programs
Donations/Annual Charity Programs
The Trilogy Foundation is dependent upon the charitable giving of our outside sponsors along with our Trilogy, Paragon and PCA employees. Over 60% of our employees donate through payroll deduction (Opportunity Needs Everyone Campaign).
In addition to the Foundation employee programs, the Trilogy employee programs, the Trilogy Foundation also helps organize two annual charity drives (Hope for the Holidays and Independence from Hunger).
Opportunity Needs Everyone (ONE) Campaign
The Foundation organizes the Opportunity Needs Everyone (ONE) campaign to encourage employees to give at least $1 per pay period to the general Foundation account that funds each of our programs.
When an employee gives money to the Foundation 50% is restricted for their Campus Designated Funds, to assist employees at their campus for emergency assistance and scholarships not specifically covered by the Trilogy Foundation guidelines.
Each year the Foundation conducts at least one donation drive for the general foundation account, and campuses that reach 100% participation receive a bonus $1000 for their CDF account.
Independence from Hunger
Independence from Hunger: Helps raise food for the banks in our communities to serve members of the community struggling to put food on their tables.
