Every year, thousands of employees get involved in workplace giving campaigns to support United Way’s solutions that work toward ensuring that ALL people have homes, students graduate and families are financially stable.
We all have a cause that’s close to our hearts. But what better way to solve issues than to unite to raise money, speak out, and have a grand impact doing it?
Every dollar donated to United Way makes a difference in people’s lives, every day. Workplace giving campaigns are an easy and effective way to help employees make a difference and show them that their workplace is actively supporting the local community’s most important issues.
These resources will guide you to build your own winning campaign, engage your employees in it, build a spirit of teamwork by planning events and engagement opportunities, and of course, wrap it all up with a giant impact.
Once again, thank you for your commitment to our community and for bringing your team to step up for our neighbors in need.
We look forward to helping you get started and supporting you along the way, because teamwork absolutely makes the dream work!
