Your employees want to work somewhere that stands for something. Your customers want to do business with a company invested in its community. A United Way workplace campaign gives your company a proven way to deliver on both, with measurable local impact and a partner your team will be proud to stand behind.
More than 60 Pickens County companies run a workplace campaign every year, from universities and local hospitals to family-owned businesses and professional firms. Together, their employees fund the programs that shape this community. Last year alone, workplace donors supported 486 struggling readers through Camp iRock and made 2,244 free tax returns possible through Free File, returning more than $2.2 million in economic impact to Pickens County families.
Your company can join them, no matter the size of your team.
Good for Your Community, Good for Your Company
A workplace campaign is one of the most effective ways to connect your company to the community while building something meaningful inside your own walls. Employees who give together report a stronger sense of shared purpose. Morale strengthens. Retention improves. Your company earns visibility as a corporate citizen that does more than talk about its values.
It also simplifies your giving. Rather than fielding dozens of individual requests, you give your team one trusted vehicle that already funds the work you would want to support, across education, financial security, mental well-being, and community resilience.
Your Investment, Multiplied
Every dollar raised through your workplace campaign stays in Pickens County. Because your gift joins thousands of others, its reach multiplies. One paycheck deduction becomes a shared investment in programs that no single company could fund on its own, from early literacy for toddlers to emergency response for families displaced by disaster.
United Way does the work of identifying, vetting, and measuring the programs, so your gift goes where the need is greatest and the return on investment is strongest.
Simple to Launch, Supported Throughout
We know your team's time is limited. Our Corporate Partnership staff will handle the logistics so your coordinator can focus on rallying employees.
