Planning Your Campaign

We know that the secret to running a smooth United Way workplace campaign requires a little planning. It doesn't require a lot of time, but taking the time now to analyze and plan will pay huge divendends in the future.

A good rule of thumb: Start your planning three months before you kick off your campaign.

Tips from experienced Employee Campaign Managers:

  • "Keep your CEO, supervisor, and upper management involved."
  • "Attend a United Way Employee Campaign Manager Workshop."
  • "Ask the United Way Campaign Staff for anything you need - they're a great resource!"

Survey Your Co-Workers - Survey your co-workers to find out what their personal views are of United Way.
