Why organize a Campaign to benefit the United Way of the Southern Alleghenies?
When you organize a United Way workplace campaign, you have the opportunity to educate employees about the needs right here in our community and connect them with easy ways to give back. Whether through volunteering opportunities, donations, or advocating, statistics show that employees who work for companies that have a Corporate Social Responsibility Program are more productive and happier in the workplace.

Workplace Coordinators Role is to publicize the United Way campaign where you work, schedule presentations, distribute and collect pledge forms, and coordinate any other fundraisers that can bring staff together for fundraising and team-building exercises. The time commitment varies based on the size of the workplace, but the typical campaign period is usually just two weeks. At the end, you will be asked to complete the simple Company Report Form and submit it along with any cash/checks collected, as well as copies of employee pledge forms, to the United Way. We encourage you to attend United Way kickoff event in September and our allocation event in May. This is your opportunity to see the organizations that your dollars fund, receive their grants.
