> Analyze 2020 Fund data and analytics. Tableau, your real-time diagnostic reporting tool, provides essential insights.
- Evaluate applicant behavior. If 2020 application volume was lower than expected, consider planning for additional employee engagement campaigns in 2021. If it was higher than expected, it might be time to revisit the Fund's grant criteria.
- Review 2020 donation and grant volume. If needed, reconsider the grant criteria to better balance expected donations with expected grants to be made in 2021. To boost donations, consider offering payroll deduction if the option is not already available.
> Share 2020 successes. Compile donation, application, and grant data highlights to share through internal communication channels. Express gratitude for donations and include grant recipient testimonials.
- Remind employees that the Fund is there for them, and direct them to the Fund website for information and resources. Review and update the available resources, including FAQ documents, if needed.
> Plan for 2021 employee engagement and communication. Consider sharing Fund highlights throughout the year at company-wide meetings or in internal newsletters.
- If you don't already have one, create a Fund oversight committee that includes representatives from various departments who can help boost program awareness.
- Review the EAF Communications Archive to easily access past disaster alerts, monthly updates, and other useful information that's been sent to our Fund Partners via email.
- Get ideas for employee engagement campaigns to increase donation and/or application volume.
