Overview
Corporate partners are critical to supporting improvement in the areas of education, income stability, and healthy lives. A company can run a workforce campaign and give their employees an opportunity to be part of the solution by giving through payroll deduction at the minimum recommended giving level of fair share (one hour of pay per month).
Why Run a United Way Campaign?
We find that most people in our 10-Parish Service Area of Capital Area United Way want to help those in need, but frequently do not know how. United Way makes it easy for employees to give back, knowing their gift is going exactly where it is needed.
Whether you are a small business, a major corporation, or a nonprofit, you can join the supportive local businesses and organizations that run annual campaigns each year.
We Make It Easy
Through an annual campaign your employees will experience the satisfaction of seeing their donations turn into programs, projects and services that create impact on people’s lives. When they see the needle moving on important social issues in our community, they will know your company or organization helped to make a difference and they will feel proud of their collective accomplishments.
There are many advantages to running a United Way annual campaign:
- Capital Area United Way offers a simple, convenient, and efficient way for your employees to support the community and causes they believe in.
- Your employees may give in regular increments, via payroll deduction through an easy-to-use system or through paper pledging.
- A workplace campaign will help your company to achieve its Corporate Social Responsibility goals.
- Your employees will be able to tap into a wealth of volunteer opportunities via Volunteer UNITED.
