Workplace Giving

This year, workplace campaigns may look a little different, as more companies shift to remote work environments to protect the health and safety of their teams. But your company, large or small, can still help to build a stronger community. We’ve created the materials and training you need to run a successful in-person or virtual workplace campaign. We’ve also compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you quickly provide answers in these uncertain times.

We know that change doesn’t happen alone,
and when we live UNITED, we see what’s possible.

Workplace Campaign Frequently Asked Questions

This year especially, employees may have several questions before contributing to your workplace campaign. We’ve provided answers to the most common questions below. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please reach out to your campaign coordinator.

Even during these unprecedented times, United Way of Greater Stark County is always fighting for the health, education and financial stability of Stark and Carroll County residents. But now, more than ever, our work is vital to the community. With more families struggling to make ends meet we must remain united in kindness, united in service and united in hope. With your support, we can continue to care for one another, to protect our most vulnerable and to help those who are struggling get back on their feet.

Every gift to United Way of Greater Stark County, no matter its size, makes a difference in our community. Many people find that giving through payroll deduction allows them to make a contribution that fits their budget. One of the great advantages of giving through United Way is being part of a community effort that combines all of our giving to make the greatest impact on meeting the needs of people in our community.

Almost universally, people want to help others. Even a small amount each week can give an employee a sense of belonging to a larger community – of making a difference. United Way feels that all employees should be given an opportunity to express themselves through charitable giving. Often, employees at the lower end of the pay scale are more likely to know what it’s like to need health and human services and may better understand and appreciate United Way’s impact.
