Giving Together to Succeed Together
Workplace Campaigns are the lifeblood of United Way. Many hands make light work, and the same is true for giving! By rallying together around a campaign, your workplace can have a HUGE impact on the community - making it possible for us to invest more in solutions for the future of Winnebago County. Whether you’re a small business, a major corporation, or even a nonprofit, you can join hundreds of local organizations that run a workplace campaign. Setting up and running a campaign is simple, and we can help you every step of the way.

Campaign Toolkit
Whether your Employee Giving Campaign runs as a traditional campaign or your company prefers to run electronically, this 2024-2025 Campaign Toolkit provides resources that fit both styles of campaigns.
United Way wants to make your workplace campaign easy and successful! Running a campaign means that you are playing a critical role in building the communities around us. Every workplace is different, so every workplace campaign is also different! We can help you every step of the way on finding the materials, volunteer opportunities, and messaging that fits for your campaign.
The following materials will help you achieve a best practice campaign. Feel free to download and use them to make your campaign as successful as possible.
Remember, when posting anything related to your workplace campaign on social media, please use the hashtag #UWRRV so that we can share it and recognize you on our social media channels!
In addition to these tools, United Way staff remain available to assist your campaign in any way. Contact Director of Development Angela Lundin via email at campaign@unitedwayrrv.org or call us at (815) 968-5400.
