Starting a Workplace Giving Campaign

Many of our donors choose to participate in their organization’s United Way Annual Campaign. Often, they make their donations through payroll deduction over the course of each year. Please check with your organization to find out about your United Way Campaign.

Workplace campaigns benefit employees in many ways by:

• Payroll deduction is an easy and convenient way for employees to give back to our community
  
  
• United Way maximizes the impact of employees' gifts
  
  
• Educating employees about giving opportunities, allowing them to make informed decisions
  
  
• United Way offers the opportunity to help more than just one person or charity
  
  
• Providing information about United Way agency services; enabling employees to use them for themselves, friends and families
