Workplace Giving
Running a workplace campaign is good for your company, your employees, and our community.
Customers are more likely to trust and be loyal to a company that is involved in and cares about their community.
Focusing your organization toward a common goal energizes employees, builds morale, and increases teamwork.
A campaign empowers employees to learn about the needs in our community, and gives them an easy, meaningful way to be a part of the solution.
Giving to United Way is a smart investment. It provides the most efficient and effective way to make a difference in our community – you and your employees can give with confidence.
Every campaign is different and customizable to your organization's needs and culture. Getting a campaign up and running is simple and we can help you every step of the way. Let us get you started!
