  9. Use Social Media • Facebook • Use pictures! • Follow charities and share their posts • Twitter • Hashtag your campaign • use @ addresses to tag audiences • Retweet • Instagram

  10. The Details • Put up our posters • Make your own flyers about events • Use your intranet/newsletters • Make sure everyone gets a pledge card and Charity Guide • The number one reason people do not contribute is that they are not asked

  11. Online giving • CFC Nexus • Visit the homepage of: http://www.cfcofcva.org • Click on the live link on the top of the homepage • First time online donors will need to register. Returning donors may simply log in and pledge. • Online tutorials are available online if additional instructions are needed • Payroll, Credit/Debit card, Cash, Check

  14. Envelopes Green for Cash/Check/Special Event Black for Payroll Deduction Fill out all the information Count the pledge cards and add up the totals Call your Loaned Executive to schedule a pick-up

  15. Do’s and Don’ts • Pledge cards are confidential • Do not share an individual’s participation status or amount with anyone, including supervisors • Have Keyworkers keep pledges in a secure place until they are turned in • Department/Unit totals and overall participation Can be shared with supervisors • (A little competition among departments can’t hurt…)

  16. Wrap-up • Have a campaign closing event • Announce your totals • Thank everyone • Then thank them again • Make sure Recognition Gifts have been distributed • Certificates of appreciation for Keyworkers • Your own private closing party for a job well done…
