If our workplace campaign adds the Community Health Charities Texas in addition to the United Way, would this cause a reduction in United Way designations?
Not at all. In fact, in studies of side-by-side and joint campaigns, the United Way did best over the long term. Their revenues grew 13.4% annually in side-by-side campaigns and 11.8% in joint campaigns run by the employer or employees (Paprocki, 1998). You should actually see an increase in overall giving due to the new choices that are provided to your employees. The important principle that we should remember is that the donated funds belong to the donors — the people who have earned them — and we should respect the wishes of the donors. The reliance on the choices of the marketplace is an essential principle in our democratic system. Back to FAQ list.
