Tips for a Successful Workplace Campaign

Looking to inspire your team and make a real impact? Here are some proven ways to run a fun, effective, and meaningful United Way campaign at your workplace:

🔊 Kick It Off with a Rally

Invite a trained United Way volunteer or agency representative to speak at a staff meeting or rally. Hearing firsthand how donations change lives brings the mission to life and energizes your team.

🎁 Make It Fun with Incentives

Get creative! Offer perks like:

Extra PTO for giving at a certain level
Prize raffles
Matched employee donations
VIP parking spots

Incentives help employees feel appreciated for their generosity.

🏢 Lead by Example

When leadership gives, employees follow. A corporate gift demonstrates your organization’s commitment and can encourage team-wide participation.

🕒 Volunteer Together

Support volunteerism by offering staff a set number of paid volunteer hours each year. You can even match hours with a company donation to maximize impact.
