Develop a plan for success
We encourage you to work with your United Way staff to assess the strengths of last year’s campaign and identify areas of improvement in order to reach your goals.
Involve your CEO
The success of your campaign will be significantly improved based on the commitment and visible support of your senior managers and chief executive officer.
Recruit and train your campaign team
Your campaign committee will help you manage your organization's campaign and communicate with employees about United Way.
Run a Tocqueville Society and Leadership Giving Campaign
Annual Tocqueville gifts of $10,000 or more and Leadership Gifts of $1,000-$9,999 are the best ways for employees to lead by example and positively influence lives in North Texas. Publicizing Leadership Giving opportunities is an important key to increasing your average gift and senior management support.
Promote and publicize
United Way can help you create an environment of contagious enthusiasm as you educate employees about how their contributions help families move from surviving to succeeding.
Make the ask
It is important to offer every employee the opportunity to LIVE UNITED and be a part of creating lasting change. The number one reason people do not give is because they are not asked. Please allow every employee to make an educated, personal decision about giving to United Way.
Report your results
It is critical to follow-up with your employees and report results in a timely manner. Sharing information about how your campaign is progressing is also a great way to maintain employee interest and enthusiasm.
Say “Thank You!”
Your “thank you” should be the first of many communications that emphasize to your employees how important their gift is in providing critical resources to our community.
Plan for next year's campaign
Getting an early start on next year's campaign is one of the best ways to maximize your future campaign success.
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.
