Dear Community Campaign Coordinator,
Welcome! Thank you for agreeing to lead the 2009
United Way Community Campaign at your workplace. We hope you are as excited as
we are about
participating in this important campaign that will
raise dollars to make a visible and long-lasting
difference in central and northeastern Connecticut.
As a Campaign Coordinator, you are on the front
lines: Your commitment, dedication and passion for
this volunteer role will be, in the end, what
contributes most to our success.
As active participants in our community, we feel
strongly that a contribution through our local
United Way Community Campaign is the best way to
ensure that children are successful, families are
strong and healthy, and there is a safety net for
those in need. We recognize that your work on the
campaign will be an investment of your time,
resources, creativity, and caring. For all that you
will do, we extend our gratitude in advance.
The Campaign
Toolkit will equip you with helpful information
on how to run the most effective campaign. All of
the steps outlined in this guide are proven to
deliver successful results. In addition, on this
website you’ll find all sorts of helpful links to
specific resources that will make your job easier,
including sample letters, logos,
vendor lists, and much more.
It‘s time to get started. The first thing to do
is contact your local United Way Community Campaign
staff member or Loaned Executive. Engage them in
every step of your campaign process, from planning
to reporting results to thanking your donors. You do
not have to do this job alone!
Thank you for lending your time and talents to
ensure that everyone in our community has the
opportunity for a better future.
