LIVE UNITED in YOUR WORKPLACE
A workplace campaign is an employer-driven program that offers their employees the opportunity to make a charitable contribution.
There are three components that in best practice workplaces can utilize to promote a success campaign:
(1) Choose a Campaign Coordinator (2) Recruit a Campaign Committee (3) Set a Worksite Goal
Employee Pledges
Employee Pledges to United Way of Henry County & Martinsville is one of our most successful approach to the annual campaign. Yearly gifts can be pledged via our Pledge Form, and then dispersed to the United Way incrementally each pay period until a participant meets their goal. This is an excellent way to drive friendly competition between departments or shifts, and facilitate team-building along the way. Consider participating in a company match system to achieve larger goals.
Corporate Giving
As an employer, one of the best ways to show your company’s dedication to your Workplace Campaign is through providing a Corporate Gift. Additionally, you could accept United Way’s challenge to sign-up as a Pacesetter Company: this requires you commit your corporate pledge prior to the official campaign kickoff.
Special Events
Hosting a Special Event, a one-time occasion such as a Golf Tournament, is an excellent option to raise additional funds from those that are not interested in participating in payroll deductions. Some events that our partners have participated in the past include Car Washes, Bake Sales, and additional fundraising events. There are many options available, both digital and in-person, that can be accommodated to your company’s size and help personalize your workplace campaign.
