United Way can help you create a fun, exciting employee environment where a passion for giving is contagious. These ideas will assist you in bringing the impact of employee giving to life as you show them how their gifts are changing lives in our community.
This year gives our community a great opportunity to embrace LIVE UNITED by:
- Opening your heart - GIVE
- Spreading the word about United Way - Advocate
- Joining hands and volunteering for an hour or a Saturday - Volunteer
Some of the most successful campaign promotional tools are:
- Employee testimonials in print or audio-visual presentations
- Inspiring, creative campaign themes that ignite employee interest
- Displays, posters, photos/videos of employees at agency tours or volunteer projects
- Employee publications, voice mail announcements or goal thermometers
- Incentives for turning in pledge cards or giving through payroll deduction
- Information via e-mail, the intranet and screen savers
- Special events and fun activities to add an additional spark to your campaign, in addition to educational meetings and other best practices
Bright Idea
In order to increase campaign awareness, Frito-Lay used a collection of mannequins dressed in Live United t-shirts placed throughout the building in busy hallways, the cafeteria, and by elevators. These mannequins held signs that gave employees statistics on community needs for Education, Income, and Health.
Bright Idea
La Quinta Inns & Suites encourages employee participation by giving each employee that donates a specific amount a day off to use at any time during the year.
Make a Donation
When a child succeeds in school, a single mom pulls herself out of poverty, or a grandfather learns how to better manage his diabetes, we all win. When you reach out a hand to one, you influence the condition of all.
Your donation, large or small, makes it possible for United Way to improve lives in our community.
Make a Memorial Gift
When someone passes away, it’s natural to think about the life they led and the impact they made on the people who loved and admired them. The United Way is grateful to those who Give to further extend the impact of people who have been lost.
Your memorial gift—of any size—pays honors one incredible life by bettering the lives of others throughout our community.
Make a Tribute Gift
Has someone special in your life made you want to honor them by giving to others? A gift to United Way can be a powerful way to say thank you or congratulations, because it can touch the lives of so many people in our community.
When you want to make a tribute gift, please keep the United Way in mind.
