Have you ever thought that an United Way Employee Campaign could be used to increase workplace engagement and develop the culture of your company? At United Way, one of our core values is to make Fundraising FUN. We have the resources you need to run a successful and engaging workplace campaign.

Together, everyone thrives

Employee Campaigns are the most significant way that United Way raises dollars for our impact work and partners each year. As a business owner or leader you can help your employees become more generous and see a broader perspective of how they can begin to strengthen the community.

Did you know that between 2017-2023, United Way of the Kearney Area gave 101% of employee campaign donations to partner agencies?

This year the goal for the United Way campaign is to raise $150,000! Some people contribute a few dollars from each paycheck while others are able to contribute much more. Each participant and each donation make it possible for your neighbors in the Kearney area to receive the support they need in times of crises.

Employee (or workplace) campaigns look different in every organization. You have the ability to make it fun and engaging while also creating a big impact. Some of the things you can do in addition to a typical employee canvas are host events, post marketing materials inside the building, hold contests or auctions!

Are you nervous about asking your employees or fellow coworkers to contribute? We get it! Fundraising can be intimidating, but when you don't ask, you are already answering for them. Most people find joy in generosity. It's also important to provide information in your employee campaign about how the dollars raised impact the community.

We encourage you to host a United Way representative to share about how United Way dollars make a difference.
