Workplace Giving campaigns provides employees and managers an opportunity to work together in a major charitable campaign. The campaigns are fun and spirited, with employees from many levels of the company forming a committee and working toward a common goal. The nonprofit organizations you are helping support can speak to your employees about their programs and the importance of employee donations to the people they serve. Federations like Alaska Community Share can provide a lot of help in running a campaign.

Studies show that giving through Payroll Deduction is three times more effective than simply writing a check. Why?

First, spreading out your donation over the course of a year allows smaller, more manageable amounts to be taken out of your paycheck; that allows people to give more overall. Second, the money is deducted automatically without the employee ever touching it, so the decision to pledge only needs to be made once a year. It also gives employees a stake in the community.

Payroll deduction lets every employee be a Workplace Philanthropist!
