Workplace Campaigns

The United Way of Lee County kicks off our 62nd Workplace Campaign this fall. While much has changed in our world this year, with your help, United Way of Lee County (UWLC) can support almost 30 local nonprofit agencies through our 2020 Workplace Campaign.

Kicking off in September, the Workplace Campaign is an annual challenge to Lee County businesses to organize workplace fundraising to help address Lee County’s greatest needs.

In light of the unprecedented events of 2020 and the continuing effects on employment and our economy, the funds raised from this collective effort is more important to local nonprofits than ever before. We understand the effects COVID-19 has had on for profit businesses as well. Fortunately, the Workplace Campaign is different than other fundraising activities.

No matter what is happening in your company, UWLC works with you, catering to your needs and the state of your business. Through the Workplace Campaign, UWLC offers a personal touch, considering how you want to be approached, how you want to raise funds, and how you would like us to support your efforts. Each business can tailor its campaign to its workforce and desired outcomes. Whether you’re a large corporation or a small business, we can help develop the
perfect plan for your company’s culture, giving capabilities, and desired impact.

Learn more about initiating a Workplace Campaign and consider becoming a Campaign Coordinator. Please also feel free to reach out to discuss your campaign ideas and any questions you have. The UWLC staff is here to support your business’s way of fundraising and is happy to talk about all the options for achieving your fundraising goals. With your help, we can improve lives in Lee County!
