What can my organization expect for our effort and participation?
Your organization will receive many opportunities for local media exposure, quarterly newsletter releases, networking opportunities and a listing in our annual recognition publication.

What is an employee campaign?
An employee campaign is a fun way to promote teamwork while supporting the community. With your help and your management's support, we work with you to plan the best campaign possible. We will utilize leading practices that have been successful in other work place campaigns. Some of these leading practices include:

• Enlist the Support of Top Management and Union Leadership
• Build a Strong Campaign Team
• Conduct a Leadership Giving Program
• Educate Employees about United Way Services of Geauga County
• Set Goals and Objectives For Your Campaign
• Offer Incentives
• Say Thank You

My organization is small. Will our donation really make a difference?
Any size company can participate in a campaign from one or two employees, to over 1,000. The key point to remember is all money raised helps 1 in 4 residents in Geauga County.

I don't have time to run a campaign. How much effort is involved?
The average campaign lasts about 1-2 weeks. The employee campaign can be run in several different ways. All that United Way asks for is the support of management and the opportunity for a UW staff member to speak briefly to your employees. This is an informational meeting that will answer any questions or address concerns employees might have. Our staff can handle a large portion of the campaign for you, leaving you time to handle your daily tasks.
