Ways Your Employees Can Give:

2020 Pledge Forms

Pledge Form (Front)

Pledge Form (Back)

Digital & Fillable Campaign Form Final

Our pledge forms make it easy for your employees to make a one-time gift or give through payroll deduction. We encourage payroll giving. We can work with your human resources department to make this a simple process. Employees are encouraged to give their “fair share.” This equals to one hour of pay per month or they can go the “extra mile” to donate 1 1/2 hours of pay per month. You can print these pledge forms for your employees or we can bring you hard copies with instructions. Please contact us for pledge forms at mfain@unitedwayetnh.org or 423-220-1229.

Our text to give option is a fast and easy way to make a donation. Text GIVELOCAL to 243725.
