Goals: To educate the GVSU community about community needs and nonprofit agency programs and services To highlight the benefits of United Way giving through affected members in the GVSU community To include all GVSU community members in the campaign To strive to increase participation To recognize those who give

4 GVSU s Giving Philosophy Everyone should Be given an opportunity to respond/give Receive education on the role of United Way and its partner agencies and programs Understand how their dollars make a difference This is done by Personally giving every individual a pledge form Giving a presentation or finding another way to share information about the impact of United Way Showing GVSU s impact on United Way through stories and statistics

5 Why focus on response rate? Increase in faculty/staff response rate % % % Increase in faculty/staff giving rate % % % Increase in total dollars 2010 $156, $161, $172,199.04

6 Education So that all children reach their educational potential. Income So that all residents become gainfully employed and earn a livable wage. Health So that all residents live healthy lives and have access to health care. The goal? Creating opportunities in these three focus areas by working toward long-lasting changes that truly make an impact. Critical areas in West Michigan that need focused impact to make our community strong This is how communities grow strong. This is how the United Way will make our community better for us all.

7 LIVE UNITED - What does it mean? GIVE. The workplace campaign is the easiest and more powerful way to invest in your community. ADVOCATE. You can make change happen with your voice. Get informed. Tell your friends. VOLUNTEER. United Way s Volunteer Centers works with volunteers and local nonprofits to develop the best opportunities for people to give their time and talents.
