What are the tips to having a successful workplace campaign?

Have a trained United Way volunteer or agency speaker come in to do a rally for our workplace.
Offer incentives for giving such as a match, extra PTO if you give at a certain level, raffle of prizes or even a parking spot for those who give and make it fun for employees to give!
Set an example and give a corporate gift. When staff sees leadership giving, they are more likely to give as well.
Offer a match for volunteer hours and allow staff so many volunteer hours per year to benefit community.
Gift apparel with your company logo and United Way's logo to those who give at the Heart Club level ($500 or more annually).
Host fun-raisers like a chili cook off, bake sale, or pie your boss if we hit workplace campaign goal.
