Community Works Friends Campaign

This is how it works:

Your role is to be a messenger—to provide information to your friends and colleagues who may have an interest in the work done by our agencies and in the alternative workplace giving movement and ask them to consider giving to Community Works.

Because of restrictions in workplace solicitation, Community Works cannot go into any workplace and solicit pledges. However, one on one discussions between employees is acceptable.

As a friend of Community Works, what do I do?
Distribute our brochures in your office in places where they will be seen or picked up. The best place is to leave them on employees’ desks or in mailboxes early in the morning or late in the day. You may want to include a note or your business card to let them know who left the brochure for them.

Identify and contact five to ten of your friends or colleagues who might be interested. Speak directly to them and ask them if they could consider designating Community Works for their workplace contribution. Tell them why you support Community Works or why you support the work of a particular member organization.

These discussions can happen during lunch or breaks, but cannot take place during work hours. Targeted individuals can ask their colleagues to take a coffee break, go to lunch or give them a call at home – whatever works best.

Study the brochure and information about Community Works and alternative funds so that you can answer questions from your co-workers.

Anyone who wants further information can call Community Works at 518-482-4546
