Live United Toolkit - Run a Successful Workplace Giving Campaign
Workplace Giving is the most powerful way to invest in Central Texas. UWCA specializes in providing opportunities for businesses to make it easy for employees to create more impact than though a one-time gift. More than 300 companies in the Austin area participate in Workplace Giving Campaigns. Their donations help United Way Capital Area fight the root causes of poverty and focus on the building blocks of a good life: education, income and health. From youth mentoring to financial education, each contribution makes a difference.
Interested in starting a Workplace Giving Campaign? Contact Beth Krueger, Director of Business Development at 512-382-8612 or beth.krueger@unitedwaycapitalarea.org.
Inside the kit below are a variety of tips and tools. These are all the necessary resources for coordinating a fun, educational and successful Workplace Giving Campaign. You can download the full Campaign in a Box here or each document below.
