"Gift of Light" Campaign Resonates With Electric Co-op Employees
(International Tieline Newsletter, September 2009)

Is your cooperative looking for a particularly relevant outlet for your employees' generosity? Consider setting up a workplace giving program to benefit the NRECA International Foundation's "Gift of Light" campaign.

"Gift of Light" is part of United Co-op Appeal (UCA), an annual workplace giving program managed by the Cooperative Development Foundation. Employees can make one-time donations or set-up regular payroll deductions. Proceeds from the campaign go toward International Foundation programs that bring power to rural villages in developing nations.

Setting up a "Gift of Light" program at your co-op is a simple process. For full details on establishing a campaign, download the "Gift of Light How To Guide".(PDF)
