Charity Fund Drives and Pledge Drives

Many employers participate in the United Way^® and other charity fund drives. The value to the community is obvious but the cost to run these campaigns can be substantial. These are often short-duration campaigns that can drain administrative resources and often involve a costly manual process. The investment in personnel, hardware, and software has to be considered when implementing a charity fund drive.

Streamlined, Efficient Charity Pledge Drive Campaigns

Pearson Assessments has worked with many organizations to create streamlined, efficient charity pledge drive campaigns. The entire project can be implemented at a Pearson Assessments facility and you don't have to "ramp up" for a short-duration campaign that is not central to your core business. Let us do it for you.
