Dear Lead and Grassroots Volunteers,
Thank you very much for joining the campus-wide
team to help with the 2008 Community Fund Drive. Whether you are
a first-time volunteer or a “veteran” volunteer, we
appreciate the time and effort you will give to making the fund
drive a huge success!
Last year U of M employees contributed and pledged $1.17 million to the seven participating federations. This year we are committed to raising $1.25 million and increasing employee participation to 40%. We are confident that with your help we can reach these goals.
The success of the fund drive will depend on each volunteer communicating with employees about the fund drive, asking for pledges, and thanking people for their contributions. Research has shown that the personal approach is the most effective way to get employees to contribute to the fund drive.
This Volunteer
Guide contains information that you will need to conduct the campaign. In addition, we encourage you to attend the training/information sessions on September 19, and October 22, and the campaign's closing thank you event November 17. All events will be held at McNamara Center. We promise these events will be informative and fun!
