Keyperson • Most important link to reach employees!!! • ESSENTIAL for a good campaign • Provide 100% Contact to Employees • One-on-one • Small Group Presentation (< 20 employees) • Materials provided – brochure, donor slip, pen, website address • Important Tools to use: • Action Checklist – copy in workbook • Contact Check Sheet – Key worker Drawing • Advertising – Display posters
REMINDERS – The Don’ts • You may NOT set a personal dollar goal. • You may NOT set a 100% participation goal. • Supervisor may NOT solicit employees. • Do NOT display or use lists of donors or non- donors. • NO promoting one agency over another – Let the contributor choose the agency that will receive his or her gift.
What About Coercion? • It is not coercion when you ask people to participate and then give them a chance to think about it. Do not say you expect 100% participation. • True voluntary giving is fundamental to Federal fund raising. • Coercion is Forbidden in the CFC.
Keys to Success! • Emphasize purpose of CFC • Advertise Benefits of giving THRU CFC • Address “Concerns” of the Individual • Provide Convenient Opportunity to Give • Publicize, Publicize, Publicize!!! • Emphasize use of On-Line option to benefit campaign – http://gopcfc.org
Designation of Donation • Your donation goes to whichever participating agency you choose or if you do not choose an agency it will be undesignated. • Undesignated donations will be distributed to agencies in proportion to their total designated gifts • Confidential Donations: This option is available to interested donors – Pledge card should be placed in a sealed envelope and be sure to check the box on front of the Report & Contribution Packet.
Universal Giving Pilot Program • What is it?In 2012, GOP campaign and two others are testing a new donation option called Universal Giving (UG). UG permits donors to pledge to any participating CFC charity no matter where the donors or the charity is geographically located. Previously, only National, International, and Local charities in our campaign's area were available to our donors. Universal Giving now makes all Local agencies in all CFC regions accessible as well. Thus, donors who wish to stay involved with a favored charity or charities elsewhere may do so through UG. • How does Universal Giving work?Universal Giving charities will only be listed in available on-line giving tools, and not in the paper charity list. If you wish to donate to a local charity elsewhere, log in to our on-line giving tool at www.gopcfc.org to search for the charity you want to support. Enter the charity’s 5-digit charity code either on your paper pledge form or in the on-line donation tool, complete the form and submit! It’s that easy!
Universal Giving Donation • Only listed via on-line search tool • Multiple Search Options • Taxonomy, National, International, Zip Code, etc • Icon represents affiliation (L, N, I, UG) • Pledging exactly the same – paper/on-line • On-line more efficient
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? An active duty military member stationed away from their home of residence will now be able to support approved charities back home. They will not be limited to the agencies in their current duty station geographic area. With Universal Giving, that donor can now support local scouts, food banks, or other service organizations within their home communities. Many deployed military and federal workers endeavor to stay involved in their communities of origin – where they came from. They seek to support the charities they knew growing up or those that provided assistance to their community in times of need. When they relocate to another community, they are forced to abandon that support through CFC. Universal Giving restores that option. Through Universal Giving, any donor in any participating campaign can donate to ANY CFC approved agency worldwide!
Why On-Line? • Convenience: pledging online allows you to complete your pledge thru CFC from the privacy and comfort of your computer. • Searching: finding charities of interest is easy through the interactive search tool. Search, sort, and filter charities to find the ones that deserve your dollars. You can even research through charity websites while you are creating your pledge. • Math is made simple: enter the amount per pay period and decide how much of your total annual donation goes to each charity. • Accessibility: log in to your CFC Nexus account at any time to view, print, or email pledges you have made in the past. This is convenient for the tax season. • Replication: as a returning donor you may simply replicate your previous year’s pledge. • It’s green: pledging online means fewer pledge cards and charity catalogs need to be printed. • Efficiency: because your online pledge card is fully legible, with perfect math, and designated to the charities you decide, the CFC and payroll centers time for each pledge is greatly reduced. • Reporting: you can check the reports page to see how your Federal agency compares to others and contributes to the overall campaign.
