Employee Giving
![](https://foundation.cod.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/website.jpg)
Our annual, campus-wide initiative asks college employees to support student success and programs vital to the COD community. Your generosity directly supports students and the programs of your choice. Employee Giving participation percentage is a consideration in grant funding.
