Employee campaigns build morale, leadership and
teamwork while improving our community!

HOW TO INITIATE AN EMPLOYEE CAMPAIGN...

• Meet with a United Way staff person to start the ball rolling.
  
• Appoint an influential and dynamic Employee Campaign Coordinator (ECC) - someone who can get the job done.
  
• Allow time for a short presentation - so your employees can hear about some of the programs and services funded by United Way - and about some of the wonderful success stories in our community.
  
• Encourage participation by offering incentives for those who sign a pledge.
  
• Your employees may not all give: but at least they have had the opportunity.

MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL OF YOUR EMPLOYEE CAMPAIGN!

• Is your Employee Campaign Coordinator influential and dynamic? Someone who can get the job done?


• You could offer Corporate Support to the campaign by:
  
  • Sponsoring a kick-off event
    
  • Allowing time for a short presentation - tell your employees about United Way and about some of the success stories in our community
  
  
  • Providing incentive prizes to encourage participation
  
  
  • Providing matching funds for employee donations
  
  
  • Providing staff time for a one-on-one canvass
  
  
  • Acknowledging the participation of your staff
  
  
  • Encouraging payroll deduction as an easy and painless way of contributing

Timeframe: Does your campaign have a specific timeframe - to maximize enthusiasm and define the workload? Two weeks is great!

Goals: It is important for the ECC (& committee) to set goals in order to establish a clear direction and concrete objectives for the campaign. These can include participation and financial goals.

Special Events: Workplace events can generate fun and enthusiasm, create awareness and raise extra dollars.
