  7. 1st Step: Educate and Motivate yourself so you can spread the word and excitement! Contact everyone:Make sure that everyone receives a CFC brochure and a pledge card. Education

  8. Send e-mail messages to all employees in your organization weekly during the campaign. • Post flyers in the elevators, restrooms, lounges, etc. highlighting important facts about the campaign. • Highlight the campaign in your agency’s and/or Organization’s newsletter. Education

  9. Pledge Cards Try to collect every pledge card, whether the employee has made a contribution or not. It will help you keep track of how many employees need follow-up. Some will opt to give online this year. You will receive reports for online gifts.

  10. Review all pledge cards to verify contributor name, gift amount and designation codes.Separate copies (white payroll/yellow CFC/pink employee). Staple cash/checks directly to pledge cards. • For CFC Nexus online pledges, your ACM will • need to register. Then he or she will have • access to online pledges from your agency. He • or she will forward all payroll pledges to your • payroll office – just like with paper pledge • forms. Pledge Cards

  14. Combined Federal CampaignSolicitation: Give every person in your organization the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the campaign by making contact with individuals requesting consideration of donation. 100% contact is the goal!

  15. It Must be Easy to Make a Contribution CFC

  16. Seek Investment, Not Charity • Fund Raising is not begging. We are not asking people to give us something for nothing • When we ask for contributions to CFC, we are giving the contributors the opportunity to do something for society, for the surrounding community, but most of all, for themselves. Keys to Fundraising

  17. Keys to Fundraising • Ask People to Consider • a Specific Amount • All prospective contributors want some guidance, the more specific the better • Suggesting to a donor “Whatever you can do” • is a recipe for failure. It implies that the organization is ambiguous about the whole enterprise • If asked, explain to a prospective donor that while any gift is appreciated, the guideline gift is the Fair Share (one hour’s pay per month)

  18. Solicitation Pledge cards areconfidential- Do not share information about whether an employee has chosen to participate in the campaign, or the amount of their contribution, with their supervisor or anyone except you. If they are not able to forward cards to you immediately, they need to keep them in a secure location. Key Workers may share department totals with supervisors.
