Campaign Toolkit

Welcome, Campaign Coordinators AKA Workplace Champions!

United Way's Workplace Campaigns are about bringing your coworkers and staff together through the workplace to inspire change and build your local communities. Campaigns make it easy for your company, agency or group to make positive impacts on their communities by giving. Not only does workplace campaigns make giving easier by allowing for small increments to build into larger gifts, but they also educates your community about local issues, and connecting them with resources or opportunities to help those in need!
