You LIVE UNITED when you Give, Advocate and Volunteer.
As an Employee Campaign Coordinator, you do all three – THANK YOU!

Congratulations! You have been selected as the Employee Campaign Coordinator (ECC) for your company or organization. As an ECC, you will serve as a critical link between United Way and the people you work with every day. By doing so, you are helping us make our community better.

When you step forward as an ECC, you make a positive impact on our community by building a stronger and healthier place to live and work every day. You will educate your fellow employees about United Way and encourage them to contribute to United Way’s Community Impact Fund, the most effective way to support the greater Northern Santa Barbara County area. Remember, the more people know about United Way, the more likely they will give their support. Your leadership in this campaign will touch the lives of hundreds of thousands who live in Lompoc, Santa Maria, Santa Ynez and Cuyama Valleys.

Your United Way Campaign Representative will work with you to ensure successful results. Like every worthwhile project, raising funds and resources to improve our community is challenging, but rewarding. Thank you for your commitment to United Way and taking on this important role.

United Way's annual community campaign in the workplace is the most effective way to organize your company around helping to improve the community you work and live in. United Way can help you plan and implement a campaign as we do in hundreds of companies in Santa Barbara County.

Many companies and businesses in northern Santa Barbara County run United Way workplace campaigns each year – asking their employees to contribute to the community through United Way.

Workplace campaigns raise the largest percentage, each year, of United Way’s annual campaign. Over 70% of all contributions given to United Way are donated through Workplace Campaigns, many combined with a Corporate Gift. Your company will make a tremendous impact in our community by participating.

Working men and women throughout the north County help change the lives of so many in need, guaranteeing a better quality of life for all of us. From the stockroom to the boardroom, employees value the opportunity to help others through workplace giving.

Campaigns not only connect companies to the community, they encourage teamwork, creativity and community-engagement within the workforce.

We’ll make it easy to start a campaign at your company.   It is as easy as picking up the phone and calling (805) 922-0329 or emailing us here

Running a United Way "Campaign" is a traditional way thousands of companies partner with us to support their communities. Providing employees with meaningful opportunities to give back to the community at the level they feel comfortable is a benefit for any corporate culture. A well-developed partnership with United Way provides employees with these and many other opportunities:

  • Community Involvement -- opportunities to give back and make a difference

  • Convenience and affordability in giving options such as payroll deduction and electronic pledging

  • United Way's knowledge of the community ensures contributions are channeled to where the needs are greatest

  • Strategic giving -- opportunities for direct contributions by area of interest such as hunger and homelessness or workforce development

  • Professional and service-oriented volunteer roles with community agencies

  • Publications, eUpdates and educational forums to stay informed of pressing social issues

  • Special membership benefits for donors who give $500 and more annually

 

 

Our goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of problems. When we reach out a hand to one, we influence the condition of all. We invite you to be a part of this change. To support this vision for the future of Northern Santa Barbara County. Together, if we all do a little - we will accomplish great things - together.

Please join United Way through your workplace campaign or make a contribution through another option.
