WORKPLACE GIVING
WHAT IS WORKPLACE GIVING?
Workplace giving campaigns allow employees to make tax deductible donations to Community Shares member charities through one time or repeat payroll contributions of any dollar amount—from $1 a paycheck and up!
Community Shares of Mid Ohio represents more than 60 charities, and employers and their staffs can designate their donation to any member charity or group of charities based on what organization represents the causes they care about most.
START A NEW CAMPAIGN
1. Schedule
Upon request, Community Shares delivers posters, brochures, pledge cards and giveaway items for distribution in your office. Simply distribute the items to your employees and encourage them to give back to their community!
2. Get Equipt
Invite Community Shares to start or join your workplace giving campaign at your business. With more than 20 years of experience, we tailor campaigns to meet employer and employee needs while increasing support for more community programs and services.
3. Promote
Get employees involved and interested. Invite Community Shares or a member charity to talk with your team about the causes we represent and how every employee can impact the community through donating or volunteering.
4. Collect
Employees choose the cause or charity their donation supports. Your payroll department can help with this process of collecting pledge cards and sending contributions to Community Shares.
5. Share
Community Shares disburses contributions from your employees directly to the charity or charities they choose to support. These contributions provide steady, continual funding to local charities.
