Workplace Giving

United Way offers flexible workplace giving campaigns designed to engage companies of all sizes—from small businesses to large organizations. We proudly partner with organizations such as the State of California and SMUD to make it easy for employees to give back and make a meaningful community impact.

Benefits of partnering with United Way:

  • Stronger employee engagement and retention: Companies that offer workplace giving and volunteer opportunities see significantly higher employee satisfaction and loyalty—studies show employees can be up to 75% more likely to stay with an employer that provides meaningful ways to give back.
  • Dedicated support every step of the way: A United Way liaison will help you plan, launch, and manage your campaign, ensuring a smooth and successful experience from start to finish.
  • Free, customized giving platform: Receive a tailored online giving page designed specifically for your company, allowing employees to easily donate through payroll deduction or make one-time gifts.
  • Proven strategies for campaign success: Gain access to expert guidance on best practices, including effective events, engagement techniques, and communication strategies to maximize participation.
  • Volunteer opportunity coordination: We help organize meaningful volunteer experiences that align with your company’s goals and provide hands-on ways for employees to give back.

Priority access to signature United Way events: Your team can participate in high-impact community initiatives such as Kids Read events (May), Backpack Drive (August), and Toy Drive (December), making volunteering simple and accessible.
