Run an Electronic Campaign With Us!
United Way of Buffalo & Erie County is excited to provide workplace campaigns with a dynamic pledge capture option—ePledge! Successfully used by more than 100 companies locally, this tool helps streamline campaign management.
What is United Way’s ePledge Campaign Management Tool?
ePledge is a highly secure and proven online campaign management system that provides you with significantly more capabilities to run a successful campaign than you currently have with a paper pledge process.
This campaign management tool allows you to view your company’s campaign from a dedicated, secure website, providing one central point for all campaign information. It provides an easy-to-manage processing system and gives you the ability to implement an electronic communication plan for your employees.
It’s easy—employees pledge their support online and campaign administrators track results instantaneously. These flexible tools offer real-time reporting and secure transactions giving you more time to promote community giving and engagement.
Set up takes approximately 2-3 weeks.
Benefits of running an ePledge campaign:
- Free—alternative to paper pledges
- Real-time reporting of campaign progress
- Reduces manual tasks for the Campaign Coordinator
- Ability to export records for payroll processing
- Secure, PCI-compliant online payment processing
- Contactless giving – great for remote or computer-based employees
- Environmentally friendly—keeps your company green
We recognize that electronic giving is not an option for all companies. For more information about using our paper pledge forms please contact your United Way Account Executive or contact us.

A Rollover Campaign May Be Right for You!
A rollover campaign is an easy complement to your giving campaign. This type of giving requires a specific communication to go out to all previous Payroll Deduction and Bill Me donors stating that their gift will continue unless action is taken on their part.
Official language can be obtained from your United Way Account Executive. Click here for additional information to see if a rollover campaign is right for your organization.
