Introduction
What exactly constitutes a Workplace Campaign?
A workplace campaign is an organized, company-sponsored fundraising drive where employees are asked to contribute to Mile High United Way.
 |
Campaigns make it easy for employees to give – through payroll deduction. A gift can be made over the course of a year or at one time. |
|
Campaigns educate employees and organizations about community issues – connecting them with their community and allowing them to make informed decisions. |
|
Campaigns maximize the impact of giving – your gift supports Mile High United Way’s three initiatives. |
|
Campaigns ensure that community charities get the support they need. |
TIP! Good planning usually starts with good questions. Your answers to these questions will give you a strong base to work from as you plan your campaign.
