Check out AHA's new Workplace Giving Campaign!

Let me tell you about the American Heart Association's new "Strategic Choice" Workplace Giving Campaign. Strategic Choice offers employees a choice of several nonprofits from which to choose to donate. This empowers the employees, connects them to their community, and increases morale and overall giving.

The American Heart Association is reaching out to our friends, like you, to join the Strategic Choice movement. This costs employers no additional money. This is simply a way to engage 100 percent of employees in giving to a cause that they care about. This also helps the American Heart Association reach more people than ever before and allows us to raise new money for research, education and advocacy!

We invite you to discuss with your company or organization's leaders that you want a choice in your employee giving campaign. It’s not too late. Many companies and organizations are reviewing their workplace giving campaign now. Let your employer know you’d like the American Heart Association added on to the ballot.
