Involve Your Workplace

United Way's workplace campaigns are about bringing people in local workplaces together to tackle our community's most difficult issues.

Whether you're a small business, major corporation or even a nonprofit, you can join more than 550 local businesses and organizations that run workplace campaigns each year.

Every campaign is different and can be shaped around your organization's culture. Setting up and running a campaign is simple and we can help you every step of the way.
