Clerks for a Cause
The Clerk & Comptroller’s office has a proud tradition of supporting nonprofit organizations throughout Palm Beach County, whether through charitable donations or volunteer time.
Dress Down Fridays
The Clerk & Comptroller's Dress Down Friday charity program began in
1994. In return for wearing casual attire to work each Friday,
employees have the option of donating $2 a week from their paycheck. The
contributions are donated to nonprofit organizations selected by the
employees. Since its inception, the program has donated more than
$840,000 to local charities.
Nonprofit organizations must be nominated by a Clerk & Comptroller employee to be considered for the Dress Down Friday program. Employees nominate and vote on charities each year.
To be eligible, organizations must:
- be nominated by a Clerk & Comptroller employee
- be registered as 501(c)3 or have a 990 form
- be independently rated
- serve Palm Beach County residents
