What are Workplace Giving Campaigns?
A workplace giving campaign is an organized effort within your company to support United Way, typically through easy payroll deduction, along with opportunities to volunteer and get involved in the community together as a team.
Whether a small business, a major corporation, or even a non-profit organization, you can join the numerous local organizations that care about our community and invest in it through the annual United Way campaign. Holding a United Way campaign not only provides your employees with rewarding team-building experiences, but it also gives your organization the opportunity to play a direct role in improving the lives of our neighbors.
What does it take to run a campaign?
Every workplace campaign is different and can be shaped around your organization's culture. Most employees choose to give through simple, automatic payroll deduction, an easy way to make a lasting impact all year long. To help bring your campaign to life, invite passionate United Way volunteers and staff to speak at your events or meetings. Keep the engagement going by participating in volunteer opportunities like our Days of Caring, ReadingPals, VITA or any of the incredible opportunities offered by our partners. We also invite you and your team to come visit us or one of our partner agencies to see your impact firsthand.
