Running a United Way campaign at your workplace can be a lot of fun, if you have the right ingredients. 

Consider the E.A.T. method - Educate, Ask, & Thank! 

Educate

Educating your fellow employees should be the top priority.  Throughout the campaign, you'll want to make sure employees are informed when they are making their investment decisions.

Ask

Even though you provide people with all the information they need to make an informed decision about investing in United Way, it's important to acutally ask them to give.  Surveys tell us the number one reason people to do not make an investment in United Way is because they were never asked.

Making the Ask - One-on-One Solicitation

Making the Ask - Group Solicitation

Thank

You can never say "thank you" enough to those who invest in United Way.  As the Employee Campaign Manager (ECM), this is one of your most important roles - thanking your co-workers.  Make sure to involve managment and don't forget to announce the company and community campaign results as well.
