Online Giving

The UPAF online giving system is provided FREE of charge to participating Employee Giving Companies during the 2011 UPAF Community Campaign. It is helpful to include support from both the IT and Human Resources departments when planning the site.

Benefits of Online Giving:

• Faster and easier for the coordinator and for employees - no pledge cards to distribute, fill out, collect or reconcile
• Real time tracking of employee gifts and the overall status of the campaign
• Administrative ability to add/change employees, goals and many other company campaign options
• Great feature enables coordinator to send periodic e-mails to easily communicate with employees
• Export file of employee gifts available at any time during the campaign
• No transaction fee to implement and conduct your campaign online!

Online giving is great for companies who:

• Have multiple sites, buildings or locations
• Have a large percentage of employees who work outside the office
• Utilize email as a way to engage their employees

The online giving system only takes the place of pledge cards so please still enhance your campaign with performers, speakers, and fun events!
