- Workplace campaign timeline
- Kickoff event
- Employee giving options and incentives
- Digital and/or print materials
- Employee thank you process
Step 2: Execute & engage
Host your campaign kickoff event and invite all staff to join! Announce your campaign goal, learn more about United Way, and offer ways to give to the campaign. Ask your United Way liaison for more information about volunteer projects and engagement opportunities that we can help plan for your company!
Lunch and Learn
Host an all staff Lunch and Learn to learn more about United Way at a glance or request a deep dive on any of our focus areas or strategies.
Volunteer Activity

Impact Tour
Invite your team to a guided bus tour for a firsthand experience of United Way’s impact in the community.
Special Event
Host a special event (e.g., raffle, pancake breakfast, kickball tournament) for your coworkers to generate more in donations.
Step 3: Wrap Up
Meet with your United Way liaison to evaluate your campaign results. Celebrate results with your company, thank everyone for their participation, and congratulate yourselves for a job well done!
