In regards to leadership development workplace giving campaigns there are campaign events known as charity fairs which can be used to develop leadership. During a charity fair, charities from the workplace giving catalog are invited to come to the organization's offices, and staff a table with their representatives, give out their materials, and answer any questions that the potential donors might ask. These events can be an ideal practice field for emerging non-profit leaders (Tedesco and Doncaster, 2008).

Team Building -- the non-profit action officer can get practical experience in creating and leading a team of paid staff and volunteers.

By utilizing workplace giving campaigns and charity fairs they have a great way to provide training for up and coming leaders in a basically risk free environment.
