Guidelines for Self-Assessment

  1. The CCC Charitable Commitment is based on total contributions made to 501c3 or 501c4 organizations of your choice in a calendar year, either on a cash or accrual basis (signatory chooses).
  2. The 2020 list is based on contributions made that year. Contributions for 2021 include those made to date in or for this calendar year, plus a reasonable estimate of contributions planned throughout the remainder of the year. Reasonable related expenses may be included.
  3. All contribution amounts are based on reasonable estimates, rounded to the nearest $100,000.
  4. All contributions are annualized, i.e., if it is a multi-year contribution, divide total contribution by the number of years of gift.
  5. Reasonable related expenses may be included.
  6. The calculation is based on the endowment or net worth (the denominator) as of 12/31/19 for the 2020 list, 12/31/20 for the 2021 list.
  7. For individuals, contributions to private foundations or donor-advised funds are counted only to the extent that they are distributed out to nonprofits in the same calendar year.
  8. When reporting contributions to democracy- or voting-related organizations and/or to racial justice organizations, a contribution can be counted in both of these sub-categories.
  9. One may choose to remain anonymous, but it is strongly preferred that the signatory’s name be public in order to have the greatest infuence on other donors.
  10. The information one provides is self-monitored and may be changed at any time.
