A successful Workplace Campaign starts with a solid plan. Taking time to establish your timeline, goals, and campaign team before you launch will help keep your campaign organized and engaging from start to finish.

As you plan, be sure to identify:

Setting these details in advance will make it easier to communicate with employees, track progress, and celebrate your impact along the way.
A little preparation goes a long way toward running a successful Workplace Campaign. Use this checklist to stay organized, keep your campaign on track, and make sure you have everything in place before, during, and after your campaign. As you complete each step, you'll be building a campaign that is engaging, well-organized, and impactful for both your employees and our community.
Remember, your United Way team is here to support you every step of the way. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need ideas, materials, or assistance along the way.
A little friendly fun can go a long way in boosting participation and building excitement! Adding special events or incentives throughout your Workplace Campaign helps keep employees engaged while reinforcing the impact they're making together.
Consider hosting a Dress Down Day where employees who make a donation can wear jeans or dress casually for the day. You can also organize themed days - such as Sports Team Day, Hawaiian Day, Decades Day, or Favorite Color Day - and invite employees who participate in the campaign to join in the fun.
Other simple ideas include:
- Raffles or prize drawings for donors
- Potluck lunches or ice cream socials
- Friendly department fundraising competitions
- Trivia contests or game breaks
- "Guess the Jar" or other small office games
- Volunteer activities that bring employees together
These activities create opportunities for team building, spark conversation about your campaign, and make giving an enjoyable part of the workplace. Remember, the goal is to foster a spirit of community while supporting your neighbors across Greater Plymouth County.

A personal note, company-wide announcement, appreciation event, or simple email can go a long way in showing that every contribution mattered.
Most importantly, remind your team that their generosity is making a real difference for individuals and families across Greater Plymouth County. Every gift, no matter the size, helps create stronger, healthier communities.
