TITLE: (This is where you give your personal campaign a name. Call it whatever you like; be creative!)
SAMPLE: “Give From Your Heart” United Way Campaign
WELCOME: (Briefly introduce your campaign here.)
SAMPLE: Welcome to my personal campaign for Heart of Missouri United Way, and thank you for taking a minute to check it out. When you support United Way, you do more than reach out to people in urgent need right now. You also support meaningful, lasting change that impacts everyone in our mid-Missouri community. Please help me make a difference by giving from your heart and making a donation to Heart of Missouri United Way. Together, we can achieve so much more than we ever could alone.
YOUR GOAL: (This is the amount you’d like to raise for Heart of Missouri United Way – perhaps you’d like to start with $500?)
PROGRESS BAR: (This is a neat feature we recommend using – the progress bar gives some visual pizzazz to your page!)
DONATION BUTTON: (Yes, you can even personalize the donation button being used on your page! Use something like “Click Here to Donate Now!” or “Invest in Our Community – Click Here to Donate Now!” – or personalize it even more and mix it up!)
YOUR MESSAGE: (Here’s where you can insert a paragraph or two about why contributing to United Way is important to you. Feel free to use the brief paragraph we’ve provided, or write something that’s personal to you.)
SAMPLE: DID YOU KNOW… More than 40% of our public school children are living in poverty. More than 6,000 people have lost their jobs. Nearly 200 mid-Missouri students will drop out of school this year alone. More than 7,000 of our neighbors go hungry each night. Nearly 1,500 people are on the waiting list for public housing. TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
With your support, Heart of Missouri United Way is helping with urgent needs today while also building a brighter future for us all by investing in lasting solutions to strengthen tomorrow. I encourage you to explore this website to learn more about Heart of Missouri United Way and Community Impact.
THANK YOU for anything you’re able to do. Large, small, or anything in between - any donation you’re able to make will make a difference in someone’s life, in our community. Because when we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all.
So, please, give (or share) from your heart. Let’s make a lasting difference in our community – TOGETHER.
THANK YOU FOR LIVING UNITED!

Once you've set up your personal campaign, you can then share it with your networks. Here's some sample verbiage for your "Tell A Friend" Message:
Friends & Colleagues, I am incredibly passionate about our mid-Missouri community and count myself very fortunate to live in such a wonderful place (as I’m sure you do, too!). But as fortunate as we are, I think we can agree that things could be better for many in our community – for us all as a whole. In this season of giving, my hope is that you will join me in support of Heart of Missouri United Way by making a contribution to my “Give From Your Heart” personal campaign.
If you aren’t able to give, would you join me by being an advocate and sharing this email with your friends and colleagues? For whatever you’re able to do, I thank you.
SIMPLE TIP: You can also easily share your personal campaign with your friends and colleagues by copying & pasting the sample verbiage above into an email and then copying & pasting the URL of your Personal Online Campaign page as a link in the body of your email. Quick & really simple!
