Fundraising Ideas

Please post replies here about the different fundraisers you've used for your United Way campaigns. Tell other coordinators what size organization you used these fundraisers for, and if you had a budget. Also, make sure to mention how successful your efforts were and whether employees showed interest!

So, What's This Blog About, Anyway?

We realize this is probably a new concept to many of you and, to some, may seem a bit different. We created this campaign information portal just for you, hoping to give each of you instant access to United Way tools, resources, and information in the fastest, most efficient way possible. Thank goodness for technology, huh?

The purpose of the Campaign Coordinator Cafe Blog is to regularly update you on campaign tips, tricks and tools that you can use in your company's campaign, polls and surveys that give you the opportunity to share your interests and concerns not only with your United Way account manager, but to share with people just like you - campaign coordinators out in the Valley, and to keep you informed about upcoming events and training sessions that may be of interest to you.

Please email Sarah Blum, United Way account manager and blog moderator, with any questions/concerns/comments you may have at sarahb@unitedwayglv.org.

We hope you enjoy this interactive portal and welcome your comments!
