14 , Attachment 2 Combined Giving Fund for Orange County Orange County welcomes the public and its residents to make charitable donations and gifts to support favored efforts and County-sponsored activities. These tax-deductible gifts would help Orange County to carry out many of its vital services as a supplement to the annual budget. There are many ways to give to Orange County and a variety of areas for dedicated donations. Below are specific giving opportunities that different departments have identified as part of their ongoing public service. Some are project-based in the sense that they will be completed when a certain funding level is reached and the project maybe brought to completion. Others are more permanent and support initiatives and activities organized on an ongoing basis to serve our community. Donors may also choose to make a general contribution to Orange County. Gifts of this kind will be allocated for use under the general direction of the County Manager subject to the approval of the County's Board of Commissioners.
