Workplace Campaigns | United Way of Lethbridge and South Western Alberta

Workplace Campaigns

We work with dozens of companies in the area to offer employees an easier way to give where they live. United Way Workplace Campaigns can include:

Payroll Deduction Donations

Many people WANT to support their community, but donating a large lump sum can be prohibitive for some. United Way makes it possible for employees to donate small, recurring amounts through their paycheques. Payroll deduction donations are a great way to include giving in a personal budget.

Special Events

Sometimes, special events are just for employees, like casual dress days, or prize draws for a prime parking spot at work. Some encourage customers and clients to get involved, like book sales or raffles. When it comes to events, the sky is the limit.

Company Matching

Many companies offer to match their employees’ donations making them go twice as far in the community.

Donor's Choice Program

United Way's Donor's Choice program allows individuals to pledge their payroll deduction donation to any registered Canadian charity they wish. This service is available for donations of $50 or more (fees apply).

If you need more information, feel free to contact us or check out the Information Sheet for New Campaigns. If you’re ready for your company to join us, we’re ready to welcome you!

United Way Funding Priorities

Poverty To Possibility

Poverty is a far-reaching, complex issue, and a lasting one. Once in the cycle of poverty, it is extremely difficult to overcome and can affect future generations. United Way is committed to ensuring access to immediate support for families and individuals.

Healthy People, Strong Communities

The focus of healthy people, strong communities is to engage and mobilize residents to take collective action to improve access to, and increase the availability of resources needed to revitalize and strengthen neighborhoods.

All That Kids Can Be

Children and youth are the future of our communities. To become successful, independent adults, children and youth need a good start in life, access to early literacy and development programs, positive school experiences during the middle years and to graduate from high school.
