 |  | Frequently Asked Questions How does Community Health Charities of Georgia (CHCG) differ from other workplace giving programs? CHCG – the only workplace giving program devoted exclusively to health – is unique in many ways. We connect We also give employees the opportunity to direct donations to the health charities of their choice, so they can support the health causes that are most important to them and their loved ones. In other words, your employees know that their donations are going exactly where they want them to be directed. This means so much more than just writing a check and hoping it has the intended impact. We already have an employee giving campaign in place. Won’t adding a CHCG campaign take funds away from our current efforts? Actually, it’s the exact opposite – adding CHCG to an existing giving campaign has proven historically to increase donations across the board. Instead of taking away from current efforts, we have found that adding health to the mix often attracts new donors, while encouraging existing donors to give more. With so many employees affected by health issues – whether it’s themselves or someone they know – it makes sense to include health in your giving efforts. And when employees have the freedom of choice, they are often more inclined to give. Working together, we will help your organization create a culture of charitable giving, community involvement and a commitment to health and wellness. Our employees already contribute to United Way. So why should we consider CHCG? While If we decide to include CHCG, will we have to set up a whole new campaign? Absolutely not! Only one campaign would be run, most likely during your scheduled campaign season. CHC participates with many other federations in side-by-side campaigns, which typically leads to an increase in total donations (as described above). How much extra work is involved if we include CHCG in our campaign? A CHC representative will meet with you and/or your payroll department to discuss how we can enhance your existing campaign without increasing your workload or costs. Our professional staff is here to help with every aspect of your campaign – from campaign materials to training the employees who will manage the process. It is our goal to make your CHC campaign as easy and hassle-free as possible. Our company encourages employees to give on their own, so do we really need a CHCG campaign? In today’s economy, charitable giving needs to be as simple and affordable as possible. Payroll deduction is a convenient way to give, enabling your employees to spread donations throughout the year instead of making a one-time gift. (In fact, a payroll deduction gift is generally 4 to 6 times greater than a one-time cash donation!) There’s no need for your employees to write checks or remember when their donations are due. That is why most employees consider payroll deduction to be a valuable company benefit. It truly is the most effective and efficient way to collect donations.
