Educating and Communicating About the PAC

Before you can solicit, your employees need to have a basic understanding of the importance of corporate PACs, such as why you have a PAC and how it supports your company. Education campaigns are a worthwhile and proactive measure. This session will focus on creating a communications strategy that complements your corporate calendar and increases understanding of the PAC’s purpose.

Driving Engagement Amongst Employees

PACs utilizing peer-to-peer solicitors and charitable match programs tend to raise twice as much in receipts as those that don’t. Learn how to make your PAC stand out by strategically using incentives and properly segmenting and targeting your eligible class to drive engagement and hit your fundraising goals.
