We manage your gifts in one place and instead of collecting multiple tax letters at the end of the year, AUW will issue you a comprehensive list containing all donations that you made through us.

We can assure you that 100% of your donation goes to the agency selected and we do not keep any portion of your donation. 

Fundraising Ideas

As a Campaign Coordinator, your role is to motivate, remind, and thank your team for making a difference. No matter if your company works in-person, hybrid, or remote we have a lot of fundraising ideas including inspiration for leadership challenges and campaign rallies.

Volunteerism

The AUW Volunteer Portal offers a wealth of volunteer opportunities with nonprofit agencies on Oʻahu. Consider planning a volunteer day or in-kind donation drive, based on what is available during your workplace giving campaign. Volunteering together can play a powerful role in team-building. If you are interested in exploring custom group volunteer experiences, please connect with the AUW Fundraising Team at DonorRelations@auw.org. Please include your organization name, approximate group size, and potential cause areas and/or activities that you are interested in or that are a good match for your corporate philanthropy goals and corporate social responsibility plan. 


Build Awareness

Get leadership and staff excited!

Take the opportunity to meet with leadership and schedule time to announce the campaign purpose and goal. Organize an in-person rally, breakfast meeting, or all-staff announcement about the campaign and be sure to communicate how the combined effort of everyone involved can help make a huge difference in the community. If you have already planned some campaign activities, announce those and generate excitement to inspire participation. Your leaders will play an important role in sharing goals and providing additional inspiration! Read about how the CEO of XYZ shaved his head after a successful Workplace campaign!

Take the opportunity to include campaign announcements in all-staff newsletters, on social media, create zoom backgrounds, use posters in staff areas, and communicate that community impact elevates your workplace culture. 

Affinity Groups

Aloha United Way affinity groups bring like-minded individuals together to make a difference within the community. Please share these website pages with staff who may be interested in joining these membership-based, volunteer organizations. We also encourage you to recognize and thank current AUW affinity group members for their contributions. If your organization is interested in hosting Board Members for a brief presentation on these groups so staff can learn more, please email DonorRelations@auw.org.

Videos

These videos have been created to share the why of donating to Aloha United Way. We recommend you share and to play these videos during organizational meetings or send a link out in an e-newsletter as a powerful example of how employee contributions make a difference for our community and why it is always more than a donation.
