Run a Workplace Campaign
Without a doubt, workplace campaigns are the most high-profile United Way fundraising activity, representing a significant portion of the funds we gather to invest in changing community conditions for the better. Running a campaign where you work is a great way to get involved with United Way. Workplace campaigns are about far more than just collecting funds. They also bring much needed awareness to local workplaces.
The Campaign Toolkit:
Our Campaign Cabinet and staff are dedicated to supporting workplace campaign efforts. We’ve also compiled a Campaign Toolkit containing the basic information you’ll need for your workplace campaign:
