How to start a campaign at your office
Community Shares offers payroll deduction at many workplaces so Milwaukeeans can have a choice in giving.
Community Shares has expertise and resources to help make your campaign as successful as possible. We provide literature and posters, as well as speakers from the nonprofit organizations you are helping to support.
Why Workplace Giving?
Workplace Giving campaigns provide employees and managers an opportunity to work together in a charitable campaign. The campaigns are fun and spirited, allowing employees from every level of the company to work toward a common goal. The nonprofit organizations you support can speak to your employees about the importance of employee donations to the people they serve.
Studies show that giving through Payroll Deduction is five times more effective than simply writing a check. Why?
First, spreading out your donation over the course of a year allows people to give more manageable amounts over a longer period.
If your company does not offer payroll deduction through Community Shares, please call us at (414) 342-0883 and let us know. A Community Shares campaign is easy to start—whether your company currently offers a payroll deduction program or not.
