Hawaii Island United Way : Workplace Giving

Workplace Giving

Employee campaigns at the workplace are often called the "bread and butter" of the annual campaign. Volunteers serving on the Campaign Committee donate their time to deliver a packet of materials to businesses for employee campaigns. There are three common ways to give at work:	LIVE UNITED 2010 - 2011 Campaign & Communication Guide
Campaign Kick-Off We come to you and help get your campaign started. Payroll Deduction All donations are 100% tax deductible. Payroll deduction is one easy way to keep track of your donations. Company Fundraisers Throw a one-time fundraiser event like a silent auction.	2011-2012 Campaign Guide PDF File (Get Acrobat) Useful Forms The forms below are downloadable in Acrobat PDF format for easy printing in your office.

Supportive business environment With the support of the business owner/manager (The Decision Maker), in coordination with business agents where appropriate, employees receive a copy of the United Way brochure (which included the donor designation form), the pledge form, and a Labor flyer. HIUW encourages the scheduling of time for employees to see a video or hear from an agency representative on how donations help people in our community.	2011 Brochure
Enthusiasm is key Enthusiastic employee coordinators are the key to successful campaigns, and often they use a team approach and creative means to make the "fund" raiser a "fun" raiser.
Recognition Upon completion of the campaign, the owner/manager or company Campaign coordinator turns in results and any unused materials to the HIUW volunteer. Companies that qualify for Gold, Silver, or Bronze level recognition are listed in the annual report and on the web site.	Did you know? Holding a workplace campaign increases employee moral, internal communication and common purpose, and enhances standing in the community.
