PledgeTrack

In a typical workplace campaign, United Way receives thousands of employee contributions. Over the course of the year, some of these employees leave their companies. When United Way cannot track individual employee information, the most equitable process is for United Way to adjust all employees' pledges based on a pro-rata share of the overall collections from the company. This, in turn, affects the overall distribution to agencies designated by the company's employees.

United Way of New York City's PledgeTrack system offers companies a convenient, secure method to collect donor payment information and inform United Way when a donor leaves the company, which allows us to distribute donations to agencies based on the actual dollars received from each employee, rather than on an amount adjusted to reflect the uncollectables from the company's total employee population. This ensures that only the charity designated by the former employee is impacted and that other donors' designated gifts to specific charities are not affected.

PledgeTrack is typically used in conjunction with our ePledge system, but it can be used with traditional paper-based campaigns as well. Contact your United Way of New York City account manager to find out how your company can get started with PledgeTrack.
