Start a Workplace Giving Campaign

Bring Workplace Giving to Your Team

A workplace giving campaign gives employees an easy way to support United Way of Galveston and the nonprofit organizations they care about through their workplace.

It also gives your organization a practical way to use its relationships, workplace, resources, and influence in service to Galveston.

Your campaign can be as simple as sharing a pledge opportunity with employees and offering payroll deduction. Or you can add presentations, employee activities, volunteer opportunities, friendly challenges, and other ways to bring your team together.

United Way of Galveston will help you build a campaign that fits your workplace, your people, and your schedule.

You Do Not Have to Be the CEO to Start

Many workplace campaigns begin because one person asks: “Can we do this here?”

You might work in human resources, lead employee engagement, manage a department, serve on a community committee, or simply be an employee who wants to give through payroll deduction.

Start the conversation with us. We will help you determine the next step and connect with the right people inside your organization.

What a Workplace Campaign Can Include

Every workplace is different. Your campaign might include:

  • A workplace-specific pledge form and payroll-deduction option
  • An employee kickoff, breakfast, or presentation
  • Stories and videos showing the impact of local giving
  • Friendly department challenges or employee incentives
  • Volunteer and team-building opportunities
  • Regular campaign updates and reminders
  • Recognition of your workplace and participating employees

A campaign can be large or small. The goal is to make giving easy, meaningful, and appropriate for your organization.

How United Way of Galveston Can Help

We can help your workplace:

  • Choose campaign dates and a format that works for your team
  • Create a workplace-specific campaign page and pledge link
  • Coordinate pledge and payroll-deduction processes with your team
  • Provide employee communications, graphics, and campaign materials
  • Arrange a United Way or nonprofit presentation
  • Answer employee questions about giving and nonprofit designations
  • Develop volunteer and employee-engagement opportunities
  • Celebrate and share your workplace’s participation

You will not have to build the campaign alone.

Donor Choice Is Built In

Employees can give to United Way of Galveston or give through United Way of Galveston to an eligible nonprofit organization they choose.

Donors who designate at least $50 annually to an eligible nonprofit may direct their gift to that organization. United Way of Galveston does not deduct an administrative fee from designated gifts sent to recipient nonprofits.
