If you've ever thought "We're too small to run a campaign," or "That sounds like a lot of work," you're not alone!
But, let's take a minute to dive deeper.
United Way workplace campaigns are flexible, fun, and surprisingly simple to pull off, no matter the size or setup of your team.
Let's set the record straight and bust a few of the most common myths that we hear:
Myth: You need to be a large company to run a United Way campaign.
Fact: You don't need hundreds of employees to make a meaningful impact.
Whether you are a team of 5 or 500, you can make a real difference. United Way campaigns are designed to be scalable and easy to customize, making them perfect for small businesses, local offices, and startups looking to give back to their community. Every dollar raised and every volunteer hour matters, and it all adds up.
Myth: United Way campaigns are just about fundraising.
Fact: Campaigns are a chance to build a stronger, more connected team.
Yes, raising money is important, but this is also a great way to bring your team together. From volunteering and themed dress-up days to team challenges and donation incentives, campaigns create opportunities for coworkers to bond, have fun, and feel good about doing good. It's team building with purpose.
Myth: Our team is remote, or hybrid, so we can't participate in a United Way campaign.
Fact: Remote and hybrid teams can run successful campaigns too!
With digital pledge forms, virtual team building activities, and creative online events, United Way campaigns are more accessible than ever. We'll help you create a custom plan that fits your team...wherever they log in from.
