WHAT IS A WORKPLACE CAMPAIGN?
United Way of Cumberland County (UWCC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people in Cumberland County by addressing critical human needs. The organization is unique in that we collaborate with 16 community partners to affect positive changes in Cumberland County as efficiently as possible. When non-profit organizations work together, not only can more good be accomplished, but also the cost of fundraising is dramatically reduced, leaving more money for what is important—helping people.
In fact, 85 cents out of every dollar donated to United Way goes to help people. However, it’s not possible without support from the business community. That’s why we enlist support from local businesses to support United Way by hosting internal meetings or events, called “workplace campaigns”. These campaigns provide opportunities to encourage employees to volunteer and donate to United Way in order to strengthen our community.
