Highlighted/Strategic Choice Employee Giving Campaign Strategy

Expanded Giving Trends 70 percent of Fortune 1000 companies now include additional organizations in their employee giving campaign* 70 percent of employees that participate in payroll deduction campaigns want more charitable choices* United Way-only campaigns are now 20 percent** • * Changing Direction: Developing Employee Friendly Workplace Campaigns with Technology and Best Practices • ** United Way America, November 2004

Consulting Network Campaign Analysis Interviews held with 15 selected companies with some form of an open campaign* Aetna, American Express, Cardinal Health, Dell, ETS, GMAC-RFC, Health Partners, Hewlett Packard, HSBC (Household), IBM, Keane, Progress Energy, Sears, Thompson West, United. Health Care Benchmark Study Conclusions: Employees like having the option of additional choices to contribute to through the annual giving campaign Overall giving generally increases with an expanded giving program Average gifts increase in expanded campaigns The majority (64%) of the companies in this study saw an increase in employee participation when the campaign was expanded to include other charities Ø* Research conducted by The Consulting Network, December 2004

Key Factors Driving Campaign Expansion 1. The employee’s desire to have additional choice options 2. The ability of the nonprofit partner to fulfill corporate business or philanthropic objectives 3. As a response to declining employee participation 4. The incorporation of technology

GE Healthcare i. Care Campaign Approach

GE Healthcare Campaign Approach 2006 – Moved to Open Choice campaign … Employees could give to any 501 c 3 -registered nonprofit 2007 to present – Evolved to “Highlighted/Strategic Choice” campaign Additional health charities selected because of business focus areas Still open for employee to give to any nonprofit Promote 5 key charities and their relationships with GEHC Engage local reps from 5 key charities in segment/functional i. Care meetings

Rebranding of campaign to i. Care 2006 – Moved to i. Care brand Helped employees understand campaign was about more than just United Way Contemporary name evokes connection with employee concerns More personal approach to connect with younger employee base Initially some confusion whether this was the United Way Campaign from previous years or not
