Corporate Programs

Many organizations choose to conduct United Way campaigns each year. These educational, fun-filled events build employee pride while offering a variety of opportunities for employees to donate to United Way. The most popular method of employee giving is through payroll deduction.

To show the importance of community involvement, many corporations give a corporate gift to United Way. Often that gift is based on a match to their employee giving. This match can double an employee's investment in our community.
