Keep communicating all year long

Think of it like this-ask your co-workers to give to United Way, thank them for giving, then keep them informed about how their donations are making a difference.  It's important that people know their hard-earned dollars are used in the most effective and efficient way possible in helping advance the common good in our community.  Consider these tips for year-round communication at your place of business: 

• Create and distribute a United Way newsletter on a monthly or quarterly basis so employees can see their dollars at work, or add a United Way "spotlight" to your existing company newsletter or monthly staff meetings. Utilize United Way's monthly ECM updates to get ideas and stories for your own communications.
• Organize company-wide volunteer opportunities. There's something to fit everyone's needs and interests. Contact United Way's Volunteer Center at 752-0300 to find a project that's right for your company
• Send a letter from your CEO announcing your company's campaign results and thank every employee for their contributions of time, effort and money.
• Include a link to United Way's website on your company's own site: www.LiveUnitedChattanooga.org
