Things you need to know
• 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. 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
18
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.
19
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
20
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
21
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

25
New User Registration page
• For the new user whose

Tracking and Reporting
105
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!
106
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. This
information includes the Dept Code, Pay List Number, and Pay Office.
These can be found
– on the donor’s pay stub
– a department’s leave system (e.g. PeopleSoft) or
– PWGSC’s Compensation Web Application
• Donors can use ePledge to make any combination of Payroll Deduction,
one-time credit card, and monthly credit card donation
