Pledge Sheet FAQ's

Q: The pledge sheet has 2 sections. Which Sheet Goes Where?

At the very bottom of the Pledge Sheet there is a detachable portion, if the pledge is a payroll deduction you MUST send this portion to your HR department. However, if the pledge is made by cheque, cash, or credit card HR does not require the detachable section.

Please ensure the remainder of the pledge form are recorded and placed into the Campaign Report Envelope and sent to CJ Purdy, Department of Labour and Advanced Education, 5151 Terminal Road,7th Floor, Phone: 424-5679

Top Portion: CJ Purdy
Detachable Bottom: HR Representative

Q: Can a person make a monthly deduction from their credit card?

Yes, there is an option on the pledge sheet that provides this service. Monthly credit card deductions will occur on the 15th of each month.

Q: How often should I send in the Campaign Report Envelope?

We ask that you send in the Campaign Report Envelope once or twice a week depending on the events you are hosting.

During Pledge Sheet Blitz day please send in a Campaign Report Envelope at the end of the Blitz day.

If you host an Ice Cream Social and raise $100, please deposit that money as soon as possible and submit the information in the Campaign Report Envelope. It is best to have the money in the bank. This is to ensure that (1) confidential information on the pledge sheets is sent to the United Way as soon as possible, (2) to keep on top of recording all fund-raising money and (3) to ensure money is deposited frequently.

Q: Can a casual employee contribute to the United Way through payroll deductions?

Yes. However, the deduction should be tied to their term of employment (ie; if they are on staff for the next 6 months they should indicate on their pledge sheet 12 payroll deductions).
