about workplace fundraising

State and Local Campaigns

Many states, municipalities and public institutions -- such as state universities and non-profit hospitals -- have followed the U.S. government’s lead in establishing workplace campaigns.

Though these campaigns are much smaller than the CFC, they offer significant financial support. Each campaign requires its own application and sets its own eligibility standards and schedule. Do note: To participate in a state workplace campaign, an organization must often register with that state, and usually there is a fee. We recommend that organizations weigh the potential benefits of a campaign against the time and expense involved in participating.

To help groups evaluate these opportunities, the Workplace Giving Alliance maintains a Campaign Calendar, which organizes the campaigns by application deadlines and consolidates information so that potential applicants can make informed decisions about participation.

Partners for a Better World – a member of the Workplace Giving Alliance – assists organizations in entering state and municipal campaigns. Some other Alliance member federations also enter state and municipal campaigns. Please contact us if you wish for more information.
