As a keyworker, you have the unique responsibility of making sure that potential contributors know the facts about United Way. With your help they can clearly decide whether to make a donation during this year s campaign. You are the person they will turn to for the answers.
Many people have difficulty getting started because they are uncomfortable asking for donations.
This is natural. Remember, you are not asking for donations for yourself, you re asking to help make our community a better place to live. United Way funded programs work year-round providing help for homelessness, hunger, early childhood education, substance abuse, crime prevention, education and health issues. 1. Make your pledge first. Make personal contact.
