The Employee Recognition Program (ERP) was established to allow State agencies to form Employee Recognition Committees (ERCs) | View Policy >
ADEQ’s ERC consists of agency staff members who volunteer their time outside of work hours to help organize and run staff-centered events such as:
- Employee Annual Awards
- Employee Fall Carnival
- and more
The cost of these events is funded by staff fundraisers held throughout the year.
Your Generosity Goes a Long Way!
ADEQ's ERC can now accept public donations, giving you a direct way to support employee events, such as our Employee Annual Awards, that celebrate employees' dedication to ADEQ's mission of protecting public health and the environment | Donate >
Are Donations Tax-Deductible?
They sure can be! You will receive an official Donation Acknowledgment via email, which serves as your formal receipt for tax purposes. Because everyone's financial situation is different, we recommend consulting a tax professional to determine your specific tax deductibility.
