Marketing/Resources

Here are tips for reaching the most Southwest Florida CFC donors that you can and educating our valuable federal employees about all your charity does in the community.

Attend the CFC Kick-Off with an energetic attitude and interactive displays.
Started in 2009 we will have an annual CFC Kick-Off and agency fair where charities may display information about their organization. The PCFO will send out details each year to federations and ask for RSVPs on a first-come, first-serve basis, based on space.

Send items and information to donors you are unable to contact personally.  
If your charity cannot attend kick-off due to distance or scheduling conflicts, you may send items to be given away at this event. Remember, “give-aways” attract more interest than brochures and it is important to include contact information in case the donor’s interest is peaked. The PCFO will let you know how many items are suggested and the time frame you should send the items in.

Participate in developing our new website!
While we cannot mention charities specifically, we invite you to send us pictures or facts about what you do with CFC dollars.

Put CFC on your website!
Make sure you have a link to our new website so that your supporters who may work for government agencies can learn how they can support you through their workplace campaign.

Make sure your marketing materials are updated with accurate CFC info.  Make sure your five-digit number is correct on any marketing materials and that any mention of local CFC participation is listed under “Southwest Florida CFC”. If you are interested in a logo or your code please contact us.
