Subject: Departmental United Way Briefing Offer / E-mail Template

College of Engineering leadership: It was a pleasure meeting with you yesterday. As promised, some notes.

INCLUDE US IN YOUR NEXT MEETING

We'll join to brief your team or dept about the Purdue United Way campaign. Reply to this e-mail with your next meeting info.

• A brief statement on why you give. 
• The Purdue United Way campaign is one of Purdue's most visible community impact initiatives.
• The campaign is a community engagement priority for the President and Provost.
• Purdue is rallying together this special year to rise from the #2 to the #1 employee campaign in the community.
• The campaign supports a network of 24 nonprofits serving the spectrum of the community's needs in Tippecanoe County.

• (Indianapolis-based employee contributions support United Way of Central Indiana.)

• Every dollar you donate stays in our communities.
• Many donors find that contributing 1-2% of their salary is a meaningful way to support without creating a burden.
• Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our neighbors.
• All participating employees will be entered to win special giveaways like gift cards to Boilerhouse Prime, a round of golf for four, and more.

• 
  

• Via the donation portal, you can choose a one-time donation or monthly payroll deduction.
• If you want to participate - but wish not to support all network nonprofits for a particular reason - you can designate your gift to one or more specific nonprofits via the portal. 
• If you want to participate - but wish to support a nonprofit outside the Tippecanoe or Central Indiana regions - you can designate 92% of your gift to a 501(c)(3) of your choosing via the portal.
• Contact Lisa Duncan (llduncan@purdue.edu) with donation portal or other questions.
