Working together with employers and hundreds of volunteers each year, United Way invites people to advance the common good and create opportunities for a better life for all.
Benefits of an employee workplace campaign
• It energizes a team and instills pride and satisfaction among employees.
• It offers professional development as campaign team members learn project management, leadership and organizational skills.
• It increases employees’ community awareness as they learn about critical issues facing our community.
• It provides recognition opportunities for the organization and employees. United Ways recognize the exceptional commitment, leadership and creativity shown through participation in the annual campaign.
How your company can get involved
Most organizations support United Way in one or more of the following ways:
1. Conduct an employee campaign
A campaign allows employees to actively participate in making our communities better places to live. Most people contribute to United Way through payroll deduction. Payroll deduction makes giving easy. Using a pledge website or a paper form, you tell us how much you’d like to give. Your employer then sets aside a portion of your earnings from each pay period.
2. Pledge a corporate gift
Demonstrate your organization’s community leadership and generosity with a corporate gift. Match your employees’ donations for greater impact.
3. Participate in the Loaned/Sponsored Representative Program
Loan an employee to United Way during the fundraising campaign. Your employee receives a unique professional development opportunity while doing vital work on behalf of the community. If you can’t send an employee, sponsor a position in your company’s name.
