Q. What is a workplace campaign?
A. The goal of this type of campaign is to give employees an opportunity to improve their communities by making it easier for them to support charitable organizations through payroll deduction.
Q. How does the campaign work?
A. Most campaigns are run by employees who volunteer their time to provide information about the listed charities. These volunteers give each employee a contribution form and supply a charity catalog or guide as a resource. Employees fill out the contribution form, designating charities for their donations. Generally these donations are sent to the charities of your choice on a quarterly basis. In most cases, interest earned on donations is also sent to the charities.
Q. How can I give?
Q. When and where are funds distributed?
Q. Are donations kept confidential?
A. All donor information is kept confidential. If a donor chooses to be recognized for their gift, they may request it on the contribution form. A donor may also receive information from the charity by requesting this on the form.
Q. What is the "%" number usually listed with the charity name?
A. This is the administrative cost of each charity. It is computed by adding the management and fundraising costs and dividing that total by the dollars raised by the charity.
Q. Can I give to a charity not listed in my campaign's charity guide?
A. Usually this is possible, but it depends on the campaign. Check with the campaign coordinator.
Q. Can stock, will endowment, life insurance policies be included as donations through these campaigns?
A. Again this depends on the specific campaign. Check with the campaign coordinator.
Q. How do I find more information about my campaign? How do I obtain detailed information and the results on the previous year's campaign?
A. Usually the campaign coordinator will be able to answer these questions or you can call the main contact phone number for the campaign.
