What are the benefits to running a United Way workplace campaign?

• Meaningful way to energize a team, build company morale, and share a sense of contribution to community.
• 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.
• By allowing your employees to pay their pledges through payroll deduction, you empower them with the ability to help dozens of
  agencies and impact thousands of lives for only a handful of dollars a week.
• It provides recognition opportunities for the organization and employees. United Way’s Campaign Awards recognize the
  exceptional commitment, leadership, and creativity shown through participation in the annual campaign.

What’s involved in a United Way workplace campaign?

Company Commitment
• Commit to an employee campaign
• Allow employee giving through payroll deduction (This is a benefit to your employees but it isn't necessary.  Employees have    
  many convenient options to give to United Way via cash, auto bank debits, credit cards, being billed for pledges...)
• Consider a corporate gift

CEO/Manager Commitment
•  Appoint an employee, or team of employees, to serve as the campaign coordinator and have them attend the workplace
   campaign training party
•  Visibly support the campaign
