Special Donor Outreach
People like to be thanked, no matter the method. Find simple ways to say “thank
you” to those who participated in the campaign via e-mail, message boards,
and personal notes. Provide incentives for increased and first-time givers. Thank
employees who contributed to the campaign and who volunteered their time.
Recognize long-time donors, and involve retirees in annual solicitation and
invitations to campaign events.Engage your employees by planning events, solicitation, or recognition based on donor segments.
We have individualized strategies and staff support for various types of donors, including:
Retirees
UWCA’s Retiree Program provides your former employees a way to stay connected with your company and active in the community.
Include retirees in your campaign with special events and solicitation letters. Recruit a retiree to be an advocate on your campaign team. As seniors, they are one of the fastest-growing segments of our population and often have the greatest capacity and desire to give back to our community. It’s easy to get started!
Diamond Donors
Diamond Donors are individuals who have given to any United Way for 25 years or more. You can energize your campaign by incorporating Diamond Donors to share their giving testimony or implementing a thank you effort to show appreciation in your employee meetings. Ask individuals to self-identify as Diamond Donors and share those names with United Way.
