• Highlight the campaign in your agency’s and/or Organization’s newsletter.
Education
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.
Pledge Cards
Pledge Cards•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.

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.

Combined Federal CampaignSolicitation:
It Must be Easy to Make a Contribution
CFC
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
Ask People to Considera 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)
Keys to Fundraising
Pledge cards are confidential - 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.
