Best Practices

The CFCNCA is fortunate to have the support of more than 35,0000 volunteers within the Federal government helping to coordinate campaign awareness activities. These volunteers have terrific ideas and suggestions listed below that may be useful throughout the campaign season.

Communications

• Include photos of employees and event(s) on Intranet
• Highlight Keyworker(s) on Intranet so potential donors know who is representing the campaign in their agency

• Provide a spare change jar at the receptionist desk or high traffic areas titled "CFCNCA Coins for Caring" (all proceeds go to the special events fund)

Events

• Send out CFCNCA reminders on pay day
• Start countdown activities
• Encourage competition in office(s)
• Place CFCNCA pledge tables in high traffic areas
• Plan fun events like pizza parties, chili cook-offs, bake sales, jewelry fairs, talent shows, raffles and BINGO
