Workplace Campaign
- Is my company big enough to host a campaign?
If your company has 10 or more employees, then a campaign makes sense for you and for them.
- Won't that be a lot of work for my payroll service?
(bookkeeper, myself, etc.?)
Your employees will decide in advance how much money they would like to donate per pay period (even a dollar makes a difference). Once you set up the deductions it will be consistent every pay period.
- What is the benefit to hosting a campaign for my employees?
Payroll deduction is a benefit you provide for your employees that costs you only a slight amount of time and provides them with the optional opportunity to be philanthropists in their own community.
Donating by payroll deduction is easy for them, tax deductible, and almost painless. Just a dollar or two per pay period adds up and has a positive impact in the community.
Many employers who host campaigns have a company or department fundraiser, such as raffling off premium parking spaces, selling homemade Christmas ornaments, bake sales, golf tournament, etc. These are opportunities to create an atmosphere of teamwork that has a positive effect on the bottom line.
- How much time will it take to set up?
Once you decide to host an employee campaign you will appoint a campaign leader who will be trained by an United Way of Nevada County employee or volunteer. This person may choose to have a meeting to introduce the campaign or merely send out pledge cards with an explanation.
If an employee decides to participate, they will spend about 2 minutes filling out the pledge card and turning it in to the campaign leader. Email us at admin@uwnc.org for more information.
