Workplace and Corporate Giving

---

What is Workplace Giving?

Many companies and organizations in our community conduct a United Way campaign that provides an opportunity for employees to support their community.  The campaign is conducted by a company coordinator or team of coordinators.  A preferred participation option is payroll deduction – an easy way to give a little with each paycheck.  Many organizations conduct special events during the campaign to build awareness and interest.  Some of these activities include dress down days, luncheons, and incentives with prizes.

What is Corporate Giving?

Corporate giving is providing a gift on behalf of your organization that reflects your commitment to the community.  Organizations can choose to contribute a Corporate Gift in three ways: 1)an outright donation determined by the organization, 2)a donation determined by employee participation or 3)a donation determined by a “match” of employee contributions ($.50 on the dollar, dollar for dollar, etc).

How Your Company and Our Community Benefit

A workplace campaign contributes to a healthy workforce that is educated about community needs, issues and available resources.  Increased leadership and teambuilding throughout your organization is an added bonus!

Administering a United Way campaign is an efficient way to offer your organization to give back to the local community year round with a one-time annual appeal.  Your support demonstrates a strong community commitment to both employees, customers and the community as a whole.
