Workplace
Giving campaigns provides employees and managers an opportunity to
work together in a major charitable campaign. The campaigns are fun
and spirited, with employees from many levels of the company forming
a committee and working toward a common goal. The nonprofit organizations
you are helping support can speak to your employees about their programs
and the importance of employee donations to the people they serve.
Federations like Community Shares can provide a lot of help in running
a campaign.
Studies show that giving through Payroll Deduction
is three times more effective than simply writing a check. Why?
First, spreading out your donation over the course of a year allows
smaller, more manageable amounts to be taken out of your paycheck;
that allows people to give more overall. Second, the money is deducted
automatically without the employee ever touching it, so the decision
to pledge only needs to be made once a year. It also gives employees
a stake in the community.
Payroll deduction lets every employee be a Workplace Philanthropist!
