6 How to Manage a Successful Campaign Your time, enthusiastic leadership, and attention to detail will ensure that your agency or department s campaign is a spectacular success. Over the next few months, as the hands-on leader for your department or agency s campaign, you will: Coordinate the day-to-day activities of your campaign. Lead the campaign committee and keep senior management engaged in the campaign. Serve as the liaison between your department or agency, your Loaned Executive (LE), and the CFC staff. Track your progress toward your agency s participation and monetary goals. Below is a ten-step plan to make sure that your 2015 CFC campaign is as successful as possible. 1 Meet with your CFC 3 Review your department 5 Recruit Campaign Associate Director and your or agency resources and Coordinators and Loaned Executive (August structure (September). Campaign Committee and early September). The CFC staff and your Loaned Executive s primary job is to help you. They will work with you to review last year s results and plan this year s campaign. They can help you access numerous CFC resources, campaign management tools, and marketing ideas to inspire a high rate of participation in the campaign. Count all of the physical locations of your department or agency and obtain the number of Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) in each office. This information will allow you to determine the quantity of supplies and number of Keyworkers you will need. Also, obtain the Reporting Unit Numbers assigned to your organization which will probably be the same as last year. The deadline for submitting Reporting Members (September). Recruit Campaign Coordinators and select a Campaign Committee that will meet regularly. Coordinators and committee members will plan and implement critical elements of your campaign, including communications, data processing, logistics, marketing, finance, labor, and events. It s best to include former Campaign Managers, and if possible, next year s Campaign 2 Make a plan (August and Unit Number changes to your Manager on your committee. Strive early September). Loaned Executive is September 30. to include enthusiastic employees This plan should include: who represent different age groups, a. Keyworker Training 4 Obtain a commitment departments, and experiences. b. Campaign Kickoff from your senior c. Marketing leadership (September). d. Charity Fairs e. Events f. Campaign Worker Appreciation g. Awards Ceremony h. Ordering Supplies Meet with your Campaign Chair and Vice Chair to ensure their active involvement in the campaign. The most successful campaigns are the ones with visible support from an agency or department s top leaders. 6
7 6 Recruit and train Keyworkers prior to your campaign kickoff (September and early October). Well-trained, eager Keyworkers are essential to the success of your campaign. Your LE will help you deliver useful training to your Keyworkers so they will be wellprepared for their job. (See page 8 for tips on how to recruit, train, and motivate Keyworkers.) 7 Promote your campaign (September, October, November, and December). Use posters, campaign cards, videos, , social media, intranets, and events to educate and motivate every employee. (See page 10 for more detailed information about marketing your campaign.) 8 Track your results (September, October, November, and December). Use the Nexus system or a dashboard you design to monitor your progress. 9 Close out the campaign (December and January). Prepare a lessons learned report to present to next year s Campaign Manager. Provide feedback to CFC staff and your LE so we can continue to improve the campaign. Don t forget to track all your open deposit bags. 10 Celebrate and appreciate (January and February). Show your appreciation to campaign workers and donors by thanking them sincerely. Remember to order your CFC awards and certificates well ahead of your award ceremony. (See more information about awards on page 18.) Campaign Don ts These coercive practices are strictly prohibited by the CFC. Setting a goal of 100% participation or establishing personal dollar goals and quotas. Developing or using lists of non-contributors or providing and using contributor lists for purposes other than the routine collection and forwarding of contributions. Using results as a factor in an employee s performance appraisal. Asking employees which charities they designated. Having supervisors solicit their direct reports. Soliciting pledges from outside the CFC of the National Capital Area. A Federal employee may participate in a particular CFC only if that employee s official duty station is located within the geographic boundaries of the CFC. (Please see map on page 23.) Campaign Leadership Guide 7
8 Best Practices Taking a very unique approach to spreading the word about CFC, Interpol created a game called Turtle Tag. Stuffed turtles would be left at workstations, and the lucky recipients had the option to pass the turtle on to a colleague for a suggested donation of $2. Photographic evidence was encouraged, and these photos were displayed on monitors throughout the office. How to Recruit, Train, and Motivate Keyworkers Recruit Enthusiastic Employees Ask successful Keyworkers from previous years to again serve as a Keyworker. Seek recommendations from last year s Keyworkers for people who would make good Keyworkers for the 2015 campaign. Enlist genial employees who are likely to follow through on their responsibilities and are effective communicators. Ask people who have connections with a CFC charity or who enjoy giving back to their community. Please remember that the newest person in the office is often not the best person to be a Keyworker. Also, bear in mind that lower-graded workers may be reluctant to approach higher-graded employees. Make sure the candidate s supervisor is aware of and supports the Keyworker s responsibilities. Ask for volunteers first, then if necessary, you can assign friendly, capable employees to be Keyworkers. If people are reluctant, remind them that you are asking them to serve as a Keyworker because you think they are well-respected and excel at following through. Tell them it s a fun job that gives them the chance to be part of something important and enables them to meet new people. Assure them it won t take too much of their time. 8
9 Provide Excellent Training Coordinate your training dates with your Loaned Executive. Your LE will help you plan and execute your Keyworker training. A one-hour training session works best. During the session, you and your LE will teach your Keyworkers how to talk about the CFC to their co-workers, how to handle the paperwork, including completing the Pledge Form Carrier (Form 100), and utilizing Reporting Unit Numbers. You ll want to inspire your Keyworkers to talk face-to-face effectively with each of their assigned contacts. For your meeting, you ll need a comfortable space, the ability to show PowerPoint slides and videos, and Internet access. At the start of the meeting, give each Keyworker the Keyworker Guide, a Keyworker Tote Bag, and a Keyworker Lanyard. At the end of the meeting, make sure each Keyworker has enough supplies for all of his or her assigned employees. Be sure to play the CFC campaign video at the training. Consider inviting a charity speaker to your training. You may need to hold multiple training sessions depending on the physical layout and size of your department or agency. It is often helpful to conduct separate training sessions for experienced Keyworkers and new Keyworkers. If a Keyworker cannot attend a training session, make sure to provide him or her with the Keyworker Guide. It doesn t take the place of in-person training, but the guide will provide essential information and tips for success. This year, there are two Keyworker training videos. One video shows how easy it is to talk with co-workers about CFC. The other video details everything Keyworkers need to know to fulfill their CFC responsiilities. Encourage Keyworkers to visit cfcnca.org to find tips, videos, and additional training materials. Important Facts The Combined Federal Campaign is the largest workplace giving effort in the world. Last year, the CFC of the National Capital Area raised nearly $50 million. It has raised more than $1.5 billion over its 54-year history. Across the country, the CFC has raised more than $7 billion in the past 50 years. Giving is easy. Simply choose your charity and give online at cfcnca.org or use a paper pledge form.

10 Promoting the Campaign Promoting your campaign is essential and lots of fun. 1 Hold a charity fair. Showing people how their contribution makes a tangible difference to our community can t be beat for a promotional strategy. Just select a date and a large location convenient for most of your employees. Your LE will help you plan your fair. 2 Hang posters. Placing posters in break rooms, bathrooms, hallways, and other public gathering places is a remarkably effective way to let your agency know that it s time to give to CFC. 3 Visit local charities. With help from your LE, schedule employee visits to charitable organizations. Remind participants that they must have their supervisors approval. Plan transportation and always have CFC materials available for those who participate. 4 Show the campaign video and other videos. The campaign video is informative and entertaining, but more important, it will galvanize employees to participate in the CFC. There is a two-minute version as well as shorter versions that are easily 10 attached to blasts or posted on social media sites. At cfcnca.org, you ll also find a video wall that has dozens of short personal videos that share colleagues stories of what they make possible through CFC. Many campaigns use these videos to highlight the impact each federal employee has made by participating in CFC. Both the campaign video and individual videos can be shared in your agency via blasts, social media, and intranets. You can also play the campaign video and a selection of personal story videos in high-traffic areas in your buildings such as cafeterias or near elevators. 5 Hold special events. Ice cream socials, chili cook-offs, talent shows, mini-golf in the hallways, silent auctions, community service days, and of course, kickoff celebrations bring excitement to your campaign. And those are just a few of the many fun-filled events agencies organize. Don t forget to get the appropriate approvals for your event. (Go to page 12 to learn more detailed information about events.) 6 Utilize the web, social media, and . Use your department or agency s intranet and e-newsletters to publicize the campaign. You can develop a special CFC section on your website that highlights the benefits of giving, tells inspiring stories of people who have been helped by the campaign, shows photos of your campaign activities, and highlights progress toward your agency s goal. You and your colleagues can also post stories, videos, photos, and other special campaign moments on the CFCNCA, department/ agency, and personal Facebook and Twitter accounts. Send your LE or the CFC staff your event pictures and personal stories about what you and your colleagues make possible to marketing@cfcnca.org, and we will post them on cfcnca.org as well as on the CFCNCA Facebook and Twitter feeds.
11 Special Promotion Days in the Campaign Jeans and Jersey Day Friday, September 25 Encourage employees to celebrate CFC by wearing their favorite jeans or sports jerseys.

14 Teleworking and Hoteling Campaign Managers need to consider the following key points when managing a campaign in a telework and hoteling environment: Know your agency s telework policies. Set up a weekly teleconference with your campaign staff with specific time, date and dial-in telephone number. Set up an agency internal CFC web page. Link to the page through a variety of communication vehicles ( s, instant messages, etc.) to show progress, events, how you can help options, where to donate, how to donate, etc. Send out twice-weekly reminders about the campaign through a variety of communication channels. Instant messaging provides a quick, easy way to communicate with others regardless of your location. Hold online meetings/teleconferences to promote the campaign. Ask your agency head to record and send a phone blast promoting the campaign every other week. Ask your agency s leadership to create a short video message about the importance of participating in the CFC. The message can be ed to employees and posted on your intranet and social media. Hold an online auction. Hold online contests for example, posting pictures of employees wearing crazy hats. Host weekly virtual charity fairs by ing and posting links to short videos produced by participating CFC charities. Post updates about upcoming bake sales, hot dogs, pizzas etc., on your intranet. You can also accept online orders. Send a weekly blast describing ways to donate through CFC and your agency s CFC activities. 14

CFC cannot accept checks from donors made payable to charities. Such checks will be returned to the contributors and will require a correction in the audit of your campaign. Whenever possible, please convert coins to dollar bills. Excessive coins will tear the Form 100 bag. Campaign Leadership Guide 15

17 Information for Payroll Specialists Best Practices If you use Nexus for your payroll pledging, you will need a Payroll Specialist. (If you use MyPay or EEX, you will not need a Payroll Specialist.) After a donor makes an online payroll deduction pledge, the information must be sent to your agency s payroll department to process. The Campaign Manager must designate a Payroll Specialist to manage the processing of online payroll deduction pledges. The Campaign Manager and Payroll Specialist can use one of the three reporting procedures below to handle this process. All of these reports can be accessed by logging into Nexus and clicking the My Tools tab. 1) Processing Pledges An on-screen report that enables you to drill down by agency group, agency, and unit. At the agency ID level, it reveals each pledge by type, date of pledge, donor name, address, total donation, and processing status.

20 FAQs How important is the CFC? The CFC of the National Capital Area is the largest workplace giving campaign in the world. Last year, you and your co-workers gave nearly $50 million to charities. Over the past fifty-four years, federal employees contributed more than $7 billion through 150 different CFC campaigns across America. And that makes almost everything possible. Is there a minimum donation? Any and all donations are welcome and appreciated, though there is a $1 minimum per pay period for payroll deduction. Payroll deduction makes it easy to give a small amount each pay period which adds up to an impressive contribution. (Of course, there is no maximum gift.) How do charities become part of the Catalog for Caring? Charities must apply to be part of the CFC. Each charity must be a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, submit IRS Form 990, describe its human health and welfare benefits, and meet other requirements. Application information can be found at or Why should I make charitable contributions through the CFC when I could just send a check directly to the charities I want to support? By combining solicitations into a once-a-year, unified campaign, CFC reduces the cost of giving so that more money goes directly to the charities you care about. Plus, the CFC is the only way to donate through payroll deduction which enables you to give more to the causes you cherish. CFC is the only way you can support multiple charities with just one contribution. How much does it cost a charity to raise $1? Corporate and Foundation Gift 20 Direct Mail Renewal 25 Special Events 50 Combined Federal Campaign About 8 Why do charities love the CFC? Charities truly love the Combined Federal Campaign. It is a critical source of revenue and an easy, inexpensive way to attract new donors. To thrive, charities require diverse streams of income, including foundations, corporations, direct mail, special events, and CFC. CFC donations are especially treasured because they are unrestricted funds, allowing nonprofit organizations to effectively respond to community needs. Equally important, most charities raise the bulk of their funds in December although they must spend money all year long. CFC provides them with a source of funds they can count on throughout the year. What happens to undesignated donations? All undesignated donations are combined and then shared proportionately among all charities and federations that received designations. 20
21 Best Practices Will my contribution really make a difference? Absolutely! Just look at these examples: $75 per pay period helps a community in Africa enjoy safe drinking water. $50 per pay period protects a crucial wildlife habitat for an endangered species. $35 per pay period provides an injured veteran with physical rehabilitation and emotional support. $25 per pay period supports clinical research to cure cancer, diabetes, autism, and other diseases. $20 per pay period trains volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children. $12 per pay period shelters and feeds a family devastated by a tornado. $6 per pay period delivers nutritious meals to a senior citizen with dementia.
