Running Workplace Campaigns

Check out these activities you can do during your campaign.

Why has my company selected United Way as its philanthropic partner?

  • United Way is focused on education, income and health – the building blocks for a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.

  • United Way and its partners, donors and volunteers want to create long-lasting changes in our community that prevent problems from happening in the first place.

  • United Way is a local, community-based nonprofit organization with a strong tradition as a catalyst, convener, fundraiser and change agent.

Why does my company run a United Way campaign?

  • United Way uses economies of scale to raise funds very efficiently. United Way’s Community Impact Fund supports a broad range of programs, partnerships and special initiatives to improve lives and respond to community needs by focusing on the basic things we all need for a good life: education, income and health.

Why does my company ask me to make a charitable donation?

  • As a United Way of the Bluegrass partner, your company has a deep commitment to its community and believes that real change can happen if the community comes together to focus on the most pressing problems.

  • An integral part of that commitment to community is involving employees in its efforts.

  • United Way understands everyone has something to offer and encourages all Central Kentuckians to come together – every resident, every family, every corporation, every charity and every nonprofit organization – to change lives and conditions in the Bluegrass.

Our employees and their families are struggling. How can we ask them to give?

  • Time and again, some of the most generous givers are those who themselves have struggled and needed a helping hand from our community. Everyone should be given an opportunity to express caring through charitable giving, to enjoy the emotional reward that comes from knowing her or she has helped our community become safer and stronger. And when you reach out a hand to one, you influence the condition of all.
