It’s important that your workplace campaign is engaging, concise, educational, & fun!

Consider & Plan the Following below with your committee:

• Engagement Opportunities before Kickoff!
  • Contact your staff liaison about a Corporate Volunteer project or visit our Volunteer Center
  • Company Impact Tours- we need 5 or more from your company to schedule tours. These tours are of our internal strategies or our funded programs and let your employees see their dollars at work! Tours take between 30 minutes -1 hour per agency or program. Contact your staff liaison to get a tour scheduled.
• Special Events help bring fun & excitement to your UWCV Campaign + helps generate extra dollars towards your campaign goal!
• Incentives are a great way to increase engagement & bring attention to your UWCV Campaign. Discuss what are good incentives for your employees with your committee and get approval from Company Leadership in advance of your campaign kickoff.
• Plan your Campaign Timeline. Campaigns usually last between 1 week – 1 month. Plan a start date that will include a large kickoff to bring attention to the start of your campaign. Plan an end date and communicate this timeline with all staff.
  • Communication is key! Use these email templates to keep in touch with all your employees throughout the campaign.
  • Build & delegate a follow-up plan with your committee to ensure every employee had the opportunity to give and submit their pledge.
