How Your Business Can Contribute
A workplace campaign brings a company and its employees together to improve lives in the Coastal Empire by supporting the work of United Way. This can involve payroll deductions, corporate gifts, fundraising events, and more. By fostering a culture of generosity and community engagement, we can collectively make a significant impact on our community.
Why participate in a workplace campaign?
- Enhances Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Demonstrating a commitment to social causes and responsible business practices can improve the company’s reputation and brand image.
- Employee Engagement and Morale: Encouraging employees to participate in giving campaigns fosters a sense of community and purpose, boosting morale, job satisfaction, and retention.
- Strengthen Your Community: By supporting United Way of the Coastal Empire, you can build stronger relationships with the community. United Way of the Coastal Empire has developed a social service infrastructure for our community, your support strengthens that network providing our community with a safety net and pathways for upward mobility.
- Create a Culture of Giving: Regular giving campaigns can instill a culture of philanthropy within your company, encouraging employees to continue giving and volunteering both inside and outside of work.
Providing employees and organizations with a simple and effective way to give back is at the heart of our traditional workplace campaign model. This experience can be customized to your organization’s unique needs but typically includes an opportunity for your employees to engage in United Way of the Coastal Empire’s mission through workplace giving and an opportunity for your organization to advance our work through a corporate gift or employee match.
