One of the primary fundraising efforts for United Way of Forsyth County centers on workplaces (both big and small) running workplace campaigns. If you're wondering, "What is a workplace campaign and how do I run one?" Well, look no further. Answers to those questions can be found right here!
A workplace campaign is a fundraising effort in which employees who work at a particular business are asked to donate to United Way by making a pledge of support to be deducted from their payroll. The pledge card is signed by each employee and processed by each company's payroll department. The pledges are set-up to be deducted from the employees payroll and the money donated is sent directly to United Way to help meet the needs in our community.
So you may be thinking to yourself, "Why should I run a campaign?"
There are many reasons why you should support United Way by running a workplace campaign:
- Running a workplace campaign benefits your company, your employees and your community.
- A donation of $2 or $4 per pay period is often not missed by employees, but when coupled with the gifts of other employees, adds up to a significant amount of money that can change lives in our community!
- United Way of Forsyth County has posters, pens, pledge cards, brochures and more to assist you in implementing your United Way campaign.
- United Way staff is available to guide you and ensure your success!
