United Way of Warren County works with companies throughout Warren County and throughout the Tri-State area running workplace campaigns for United Way. Most people feel good about helping others. The United Way workplace campaign makes it easy for people to do just that.

A typical workplace campaign has two components. The Corporate Gift and the Employee Giving Campaign.

The Employee Giving Campaign is based on giving employees an opportunity to make a payroll deduction contribution to United Way. A gift of a few dollars a week, amounting to cup of coffee, soda or pizza, is easy on the budget, convenient, and tax deductible. Of course cash or checks are gladly accepted, but the payroll deduction is by far the most popular way to give because of its convenience, ease, and affordability.

The employee giving campaign is based on free choice. United Way strongly discourages any pressure on employees to give. A well run campaign gives employees enough information for them to decide whether to give, and if so how much to give. A successful campaign results in people having fun, and feeling good about supporting the United Way.

United Way campaign teams are increasing employee and corporate contributions year after year by:

• Enlisting the support of top management
• Building a strong campaign team
• Offering the convenience of giving through payroll deduction
• Conducting Leadership Giving Program’s
• Educating fellow employees about UWWC
• Setting goals and objectives for the campaign
• Offering fun and exciting incentives
• Picking a theme for your campaign
• Employee testimonials
• Saying Thank You

A corporate gift allows corporations to set the pace for the campaign, communicate the companies’ commitment to the community, and have a large impact in people’s lives. There are several ways to structure a corporate gift, from a flat gift to a company match in which a corporation will match employee giving on a percentage or dollar for dollar basis. Many companies determine the size of their corporate gift on a per capita basis, based on the number of employees times an average amount which is typical for a particular industry.
