Wrapping Up / Say Thank You!
You can never thank people too much. Since United Way has thousands of donors in our community, we need your help to thank each person for their time and financial contributions. Turning in donor information to your United Way representative is the best way to ensure that donors receive an acknowledgment for their gift.
There are many ways to say "Thank You"
- Send an email or letter from you and your CEO to every employee.
- Give out thank you pins, buttons and cards which can be ordered in the campaign catalog.
- Write a thank you message in your company newsletter.
- Schedule a thank you event and invite everyone to attend.
- Send key volunteers to attend United Way's campaign celebration event.
Remember to thank your CEO for his or her involvement. Thank committee members and volunteers for their help. Thanking people will reinforce positive feelings throughout the campaign.
Forms and Procedures
The report envelope includes a tally of all money generated during your campaign. Gifts through payroll deduction, one-time gifts, the corporate gift and money you might have generated from special events. It also includes information on the number of givers. The report envelope provides you with an easy way to send cash and checks to United Way. If your company requires that you send pledge forms to your corporate office, please provide United Way with a list of givers and amounts of gifts before sending!! This allows United Way to anticipate results that will be reported from your corporate office. If possible, please provide copies of pledge forms.
On this form, list all employees giving $1,000 or more (individually or with their spouse). This will ensure that these donors receive recognition through the J. Clay Murphey Society and that they are invited to a special reception. Be sure to include your leadership gifts in your totals on the campaign report envelope, and put the leadership pledge cards in the report envelope. If you need assistance, please contact your United Way representative.
Use the Award Order Form to determine if you qualify for an Employee Campaign Award. A worksheet for this award can be found in the back of this guide. Remember, as your company's campaign coordinator it is up to you to apply for this recognition.
