This information includes the Dept Code, Pay List Number, and Pay Office and can be found On the donor’s pay stub / PWGSC’s Compensation Web Application; or Some departmental leave system (e.g. PeopleSoft) may also have this information Donors can use ePledge to make any combination of Payroll Deduction, one-time credit card, and monthly credit card donation
National Capital Region (NCR)* ePledge National Capital Region (NCR)* Currently, the GCWCC ePledge is only available to the NCR campaign. Employees working outside of the NCR must still use the National GCWCC Gift form.
ePledge Registration The links provided to employees will direct them directly to their department’s ePledge registration page This is where a donor registers to access ePledge The process is slightly different depending on whether the user is A new user; A returning user, with the same email as the one used last year; or A returning user that gave last year through the GCWCC, at another government department
New User Registration New users are to enter their work email User work email Important Note! In ePledge, the User ID = the work email address This is the only way that ePledge recognizes individuals
Login: New User Registration page If the new user’s email address is NOT recognized, he/she will be asked to provide information like Full name A new password (8 characters, alphanumeric, not case sensitive) and hint Complete home address Branch and division
Login: New User Registration page Finally, type in the verification code provided on the screen it will be different than the one pictured here Then click Register

New User Registration page In both cases, a system-generated “Registration Confirmation” email that includes a link to confirm the registration will be sent to the donor When the User clicks the link in that email, their ePledge registration will be confirmed

Tracking and Reporting
Tracking and reporting It is very important that you track the decision (Gift, Regret, Pending) of the colleagues you canvass, and that you follow up with those that have signaled “come back later” or that have yet to respond Tracking donor responses is a little more complicated given the two ways (form and electronic) of giving An ePledge Administrator in your organization can produce a report of ePledge donors Ask your GCWCC team captain or coordinator to find out who will provide you with this report, and when you can expect to receive it But please, remember to give everyone the chance to give!
Remember! For security purposes, ePledge will automatically logout the user when it is inactive for more than 15 minutes Using the browser “back” button will logout the user – use the left hand menu, or the appropriate button at the bottom of each page (cancel, back, etc.) For Payroll Deductions, the donor must have unique departmental information in addition to the PRI/REG/employee number.
