Why United Way…
 Â
Why is United Way a better choice than making a gift to an individual agency?
Â
Leverage. You could give $100 to one of our partner agencies. They would be grateful for your help, and they would put your money to good use. However, when you give that $100 through United Way, it is added to the thousands of other gifts received, and together, they provide enough funding to provide a year's worth of programs in our community, and allow agencies to collaborate; putting systems in place that help people now and in the future.
Â
Your United Way gift is more than a charitable donation; it is all of us, working together to help not only families in need, but to improve the quality of life for our entire community. Bottom line, what affects any of us affects all of us.
Why Payroll Deduction…
 Â
Why conduct a payroll deduction campaign within your company?
Â
It’s a service to your employees. For many people, writing a $25.00 check to support fundraising campaigns such as a walk-a-thon or dinner/dance can be difficult. They think of all the other ways that money can be used to benefit their own family. But with payroll deduction, your employees can have as little as $1.00 taken from their check each pay period. Your company holds that money in account and sends it in bulk to United Way each quarter. The employee will never miss that $1.00 because it never came in their check. It doesn’t have to be budgeted into their other bills and, at the end of the year; they have a charitable donation to deduct on their taxes!
Â
It’s a way to give back to the community. Small companies, with as little as 5 – 10 employees are important too. Every bit helps in advancing the common good of Logan County! Whether your company raises $500.00 or $50,000.00, it’s all important to us! All recognition from the United Way office is based on percentage of increase over the prior year or over the company’s set goal.Â
Â
It’s a way to foster morale within your company. Many companies host incremental fundraising activities such as bake sales, employee fairs and other promotional events. These events, in addition to the overall company campaign, bring the employees together for a common cause. They feel good about themselves, their co-workers and their company by participating in the United Way campaign. The employee who leads the overall campaign effort, called the Employee Campaign Manager (ECM), also feels connected to the community through ECM luncheons, the ECM Extra e-newsletter and helping to organize volunteer opportunities. United Way keeps in close contact with the ECMs throughout the campaign.
Â
Your company can get involved too! You can show your employees that the company supports their effort with a corporate gift or by matching their gifts at a certain percentage! It all helps to build the campaign and advance the common good!
