Business Owners
Present State Message Desired State
Corporate Donors, both current
and past, hesitate to donate to the
UWGC due to a lack of
transparency and follow-up
about the precise impact of their
donation. Feelings about
generating publicity are mixed
because some do not see its
necessity and question its ethics.
Gloucester County residents
support businesses who support
the community. By partnering
with the UWGC business
owners can choose to donate to
someone they know who is in
need.
Donors understand the value of
community. Increased
transparency by the UWGC will
increase satisfaction and
generate feelings of gratification
among donors to boost morale.
