Workplace Giving Campaign

We're Stronger Together

Workplace campaigns are the backbone of United Way fundraising. Employee and business giving power programs that deliver free books to children, help unhoused families find sustainable housing, and provide community resouces that aim to help everyone -- not just one group of people. 

Donations stay local, and businesses partnership go beyond money. Strong connections lead to volunteering, events, and other ways that help build strong teams both at your workplace and in our community.

What is a Workplace Giving Campaign?

United Way’s Workplace Campaign begins in September and continues through the spring, allowing your organization to target a time window that works for you. Campaigns can include:

  • Sponorships
  • Corporate Gifts
  • Employee Giving Campaigns
  • Special Events
  • Financially-matched Volunteering

Throughout your campaign, United Way of Yellowstone County staff is here for you! Our staff can help you plan for a giving strategy, communication, workplace involvement, and more!

Each year, our annual campaign raises hundreds of thousands of dollars to support vital community programs. Without strong partnerships with local businesses, thousands of people would lose resources that help give them opportunities to build a better life.
