What is a Workplace Campaign?
Workplace giving is an easy and effective way to help employees make a difference and show them that their workplace is actively supporting the local community’s most important issues. Without a doubt, the workplace campaign is the most high-profile United Way fundraising activity across the world
A workplace campaign is a coordinated effort within a company or organization to engage employees in supporting a charitable cause, such as United Way. These campaigns typically involve raising funds through employee donations, either through one-time contributions or payroll deductions. Workplace campaigns often include various activities and events to generate excitement and participation, such as kickoff events, team challenges, volunteer opportunities, and educational sessions about the work of United Way in the community.
The goal of a workplace campaign is to encourage employees to come together as a community, support a common cause, and make a positive difference in their local area. In many cases, the donations from employees are matched by the company, which makes their charitable contributions go further. Your organization may also receive recognition for your involvement.
If you would like to get involved and run a workplace campaign with your company, email United Way GBACC's Campaign Manager Kaylynn Clapper for more information. There are many ways to run a workplace campaign! United Way GBACC will partner with you to develop a customized workplace campaign that aligns with your corporate values, as well as the interests of your employees.
