SHAPE 3.4

SHAPE 3.4, step 1

• STEP 1: Make a monetary contribution directly from chapter’s/council’s funds by December 31. – Donation of ANY amount– From council/chapter account

How do I find out if we have donated? Visit shrmfoundation.org Click “Volunteer Resources”Choose “Overview”Click “Contribution Reports”

SHAPE 3.4, step 2

• STEP 2: Depending on your goal, complete the following activities:

1. Designate a Foundation Liaison2. Host a special event to benefit the SHRM Foundation3. Conduct a Chapter Leadership Campaign4. Increase chapter’s contribution over its 2013 contribution

Awards = monetary contribution +: • 1 activity for Foundation Champion & Silver• 2 activities for Gold award level• 4 activities for Platinum award level

SHAPE 3.4, breakdown

• Designate a Foundation Liaison– If you have a Foundation Core Leadership Area (CLA)

Liaison, you’ve met this requirement. – This role may be combined with another volunteer leader

role.

• Host a special event to benefit the SHRM Foundation – 50/50 raffle (check state regulations)– Bake sale (pumpkin pies, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cake!)– Blue jeans meeting (donate $10 and to wear jeans at next

meeting)

SHAPE 3.4, breakdown

• Conduct a Leadership Campaign to encourage members to lead by example by making their individual donations of at least $25 each with an optimal goal of 100 percent participation. – Important words: “encourage” “optimal goal”– If you do not reach 100% or each do not give $25, it’s

okay! – Hosting a Leadership Campaign:

• Recruit a campaign lead – President/Director, Elect, Foundation Liaison

• Lead makes a donation first• Lead promotes donation and asks for others to join, by a deadline:

– During a meeting– Via an eNewsletter– In your monthly newsletter– By phone call to members

SHAPE 3.4, breakdown

• Increase your chapter’s / council’s contribution to the SHRM Foundation over its 2013 contribution.– 2013 contribution =

monetary donations from chapter/council to SHRM Foundation– 2014 total annual contribution =

monetary donations + recognition credits• Recognition credits (reflecting donations from individual members

of the chapter) will be awarded to the chapter/council, and will be counted towards the chapter’s/council’s total annual contribution (in addition to their chapter’s monetary contribution) when determining if the chapter /council has increased their overall contribution over the previous year in their efforts to fulfill their SHAPE requirements.
