Theme - Join us in helping throughout the world and LIVE UNITED right here in Weld County.

The Campaign - the fund raising effort is directed toward all Federal Agencies represented by 585 federal employees in Weld County.  The campaign offers donors a choice of over 2200 local, national and international charities or federations.

2007 CFC Contribution - CFC donors raised $18,570 with 11% of federal employees participating.  Undesignated funds were allocated to the participating charities in the same proportion they received designated gifts.

2008 Campaign Goals -$19,500, this represents a 5% increase over 2007. 
- Increase participation to 70 overall (an increase of 7 donors) WE  CAN DO IT!!
- Encourage use of payroll deduction to 91%
- 100% of employees asked to participate
- Increase Leadership Giving (those contributing $750 or more)

2008 Strategies - *Ask each Federal employee to donate one hours pay per month or more utilizing payroll deduction plan   *Succeed in our goal of 100% contact and personal ask of every employee   *Make the campaign an agency team event and have fun, supported by top leadership and encouraged by all employees. 

Methods of Donating - Payroll deduction, cash or checks.  Last year, 91% of donors used the payroll deduction, it ¡s efficient and easy!

Fundraising cost - 21% in 2007.  This year we can share that it ¡s 8%!  Why?  Due to our United Way of Weld County (PCFO) Cornerstone Partners, 92% of every dollar donated goes directly to the charities.  Expenses include campaign materials, recognition items and audit.

No gift is too small - EVERY donation makes a world of difference.  You can be assured that when you designate to one of the local organizations, 92% of your gift will be going to help people in our community. That is far less than most non-profit organizations!  Just another way United Way of Weld County (PCFO) is working to improve the lives of others in our local community. 

Great Incentives - United Way of Weld County (PCFO) has partnered with many local businesses to bring participants some great incentives for 2008.  By giving as little as $3 per week, you receive a ticket to be entered into a drawing for a $20,000 Car Voucher and a $10,000 Savings Bond.  The more you give, the more chances you receive!
