Dear Monarchs,

 

DHRM's 2026 CVC campaign is in full swing, and ODU has already donated $5,282! Thank you to everyone who has taken part so far!

If you haven’t had a chance yet, there’s plenty of time. With more than 695 charities participating, you can support the causes that matter most to you, from food banks and animal rescues to health research and youth programs. Give today at cvc.virginia.gov/employees.html.

How to Give

Now through December, you can give to any of the charities in one of three ways:

  • Payroll deduction: Set it up once and give automatically. This is the easiest and most consistent way to support charities throughout the year.
  • Credit card: Make a one-time donation quickly and conveniently.
  • Reporting a direct gift: If you have already donated to or volunteered with a charity, you can report it, so it counts toward the campaign total.

To get started, visit the CVC website, where you can also search the full list of approved charities.

The CVC also tracks volunteer hours. You can follow the instructions on the website to learn more. If you plan to use School Assistance and Volunteer Service Leave, please refer to the DHRM Policy 4.40.

Key Dates to Remember 

Please keep the following dates in mind regarding giving options:

  • Payroll Deduction: Submit your pledge by December 15, 2026, at 11:59pm.
  • Credit Card Donations: Make your gift by December 31, 2026, at 11:59pm.

Thank you for your generosity. Please email hrdept@odu.edu with any questions.
