  Recognize and steward top-performing state agencies, volunteers, and donors to encourage continued participation and campaign growth in future years.

  Assist in program development, including recruitment, training, and ongoing support.
  Provide accurate, timely reports to volunteers and campaign coordinators throughout each campaign, using data to identify opportunities to increase giving.
