The workplace campaign is the easiest and most powerful way to invest in your community.
More than 95% of the funds distributed to United Way’s partner agencies and programs come from volunteers and donors just like you! These funds are raised during the annual fundraising campaign. Companies and organizations are asked to participate in a workplace campaign meaning that employees have the opportunity to give directly from their paycheck through payroll deduction. United Way was the first organization to democratize giving in this way, making it easy for everyone to make a difference in his or her community.
If you are not engaged in a workplace campaign, there are other ways to get involved as well. You can organize a “FUN”draising event like a bake sale or chili cook-off, or you may choose to contribute an individual gift at the leadership level. Whatever your level of involvement with the fundraising campaign, you can rest assured that your donations are being used responsibly. More than 75 volunteers participate in United Way’s allocations process to ensure that your contributions are doing the most good in our community.
