Campaign TIP of the Week

A great way to help build employee participation in your campaign is to introduce Caring Club to your team. Caring Club was created as a thank you to donors who give at a set minimum level to the Live United Community Fund or United Way initiatives such as Running Start for School or Imagination Library, in support of the work and mission of United Way of Olmsted County and our funded partners. Please share this information with your co-workers as a tool to help increase their interest and participation in your campaign.
