You can do this in one campaign with any and all charity choices (including both America's Charities and the United Way). We can help you make it happen.
Workplace giving campaigns are part of the America tradition....but they suffer from reduced employee satisfaction and diminishing results in many companies.
America's Charities helps employers develop customized workplace campaigns that are unique to each company, reflecting their own priorities, goals and strategies. We have distributed nearly $500 million to charities from payroll deduction giving campaigns to charities designated by employee-givers.

2. Varied and Diverse Charity Choices

Employees have varied charity interests and should have the chance to support charities that are closest to their heart. List Southland Partners - America's Charities and any other charity choices (i.e. the United Way) in one campaign.

3. State-of-the-Art Technology

America's Charities Pledge1st system is used to conduct workplace giving campaigns at Lockheed Martin, Amazon, Computer Sciences Corporation, Rand Corporation and over 30 other companies. A web-based campaign is easy to administer, engaging for employees, provides robust charity content, integrates with your payroll system, and saves time and money.

4. Low or No Cost - High Return for Employers and Charities

America's Charities average cost to help employers plan and run a campaign is 6%...the lowest in the non-profit sector. We'll provide you with all of the advice, technology and paper materials you'll need. We'll distribute an average of 94 cents on every dollar donated by an employee....or even 100%.

5. Transparency and Trust

For over 25 years, America's Charities has worked with employers of all sizes, from Fortune 500 to companies with 50 employees. We also believe that employees should never be pressured to give.
