Workplace Campaign

“I GAVE AT THE OFFICE.” Give your staff the chance to say it and mean it.  With a little planning and
initiative, your employees can have the opportunity to make THE difference for those in need across
Odessa.  It’s as easy as setting a date, gathering your troops and giving us 20 minutes to ask for their support.

 
Some companies utilize United Way campaigns as a morale booster and a chance to promote team building. You’d be amazed how much fun your staff can have by doing something positive for those in need
 
THIS CAN BE FUN?
You bet!  Need ideas on how to beef up your company’s participation during campaign?  Have no fear! Employee Campaign Coordinator Training is just the ticket.  Once you designate an employee to head up the United Way effort within your company, we can provide consultation, training and fun ways to make the campaign a hit - for you and for the community
 
Loaned Executive & Campaign Associate Program
Each year, we depend on companies to allow one or two of their employees to volunteer with United Way. Our Loaned Executives are the backbone of our campaign. They work between 8 and 12 hours a week calling and meeting with workplace coordinators to plan their company's campaign. Our Loaned Executives learn leadership and public speaking techniques, as well as network with other civic minded community leaders. Our campaign associates are individuals that work with us full time for the duration of the campaign. This allows staff to spend more time strengthening relationships with our donors and build new relationships. If you would like to help sponsor a campaign associate or allow on of your employees to participate in our Loaned Executive program, please contact Jason Samp by email at campaign@uwodessa.org, or by phone at (432) 332-0941.
 

New Hire Program

We know that people change jobs all the time, but the United Way campaign happens only in the fall of each year. That’s what makes the New Hires program so important.  By presenting the United Way to each new employee, you afford them the opportunity to give back to the community AND reduce campaign losses due to turnover. Our staff will be happy to help implement or complement your New Hires program.
