Workplace Campaign
Become a member of the community of investors--
and receive public recognition, too!

 

Most employees appreciate having an opportunity to invest in their community – and employee campaigns are the easiest and most effective ways to do it. Employee giving provides the major share of the annual community campaign. It is by that “sharing” that so much is accomplished. Furthermore, employees have fun… from dunk tanks to turkey bowls, companies consistently find novel ways to raise those needed dollars while building camaraderie and a team spirit!

Your first step would be to obtain the support of the key decision maker in your organization. With their backing, the payroll department can initiate the payroll deduction process. At campaign time, employees can easily choose to have a small amount deducted from their pay, and won’t even miss it. Your company becomes a member of the community of investors – receiving public recognition.
