In addition, the Women's Fund of New Jersey makes every effort to keep administrative costs at a minimum.  

For Employers 

Why should we introduce a workplace giving campaign? Payroll deductions make giving easy and offer donors a wide range of charitable choices that they might not have been aware of otherwise.  Studies show that the average donor contributes three to five times as much through a payroll deduction than through outside individual contributions.  We live and work in a hectic world and workplace campaigns reach out to people who might not have an opportunity to be involved in other ways.

 How does my workplace include the Women’s Fund of New Jersey in our current campaign?  It’s easy!  If you already have a payroll deduction campaign in place, you have all the necessary mechanisms up and running.  WFNJ will coordinate our campaign with the existing one so that it will run on the same time line and we will work with your payroll department.

 What if we do not have a campaign?  How is one started?  You already have payroll deduction a process for things like medical benefits and retirement costs, so it is easy to include philanthropic donations. We will work with you to introduce the campaign to your employees in a way that best fits the needs of your organization. All contribution information is confidential unless the donor indicates otherwise.

 Will adding the Women’s Fund of New Jersey hurt existing campaigns?  Typically, a well-organized, multi-federation campaign boosts employee participation and the total amount of contributions.  In most cases there is an increase in support for all participating charities and in some cases, the increase has been substantial.
