Each fall many companies in Chicago and other cities organize workplace fund raising campaigns to encourage employees to make weekly or monthly payroll deduction pledges to charities.  In these campaigns a small gift of $1 or $2 a week can add up to a donation of $50 or $100 to a charity over the course of a year.

Many companies allow employees to choose where their donation goes, and if your company is one of these, you can choose Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection, and support the work you see on this web site and at http://www.cabriniconnections.net

One of the most proven ways to recruit new volunteers is to have your current volunteers ask friends and co-workers to volunteer with them.  We've created a template letter that you can use. Just personalize it with your own information and experiences.  If  you'd like to have more male volunteers, ask your volunteers to just send this to five men they know who might volunteer. If you're looking for technology help, send it to technology people.
