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.

Recognize Big Givers

Say thank you in style! Provide co-branded apparel (your company logo + United Way logo) to Heart Club donors—those who give $500 or more annually.

Host a "Fun-raiser"

Get the whole team involved with light-hearted fundraising events like:

  • Chili cook-offs

  • Bake sales

  • “Pie the boss” if you hit your goal
    These build camaraderie while supporting a great cause.
