Workplace Campaigns

Giving Together to Succeed Together

Workplace Campaigns are the lifeblood of United Way. Many hands make light work, and the same is true for giving! By rallying together around a campaign, your workplace can have a HUGE impact on the community - making it possible for us to invest more in solutions for the future of Winnebago County. Whether you’re a small business, a major corporation, or even a nonprofit, you can join hundreds of local organizations that run a workplace campaign. Setting up and running a campaign is simple, and we can help you every step of the way.
