Workplace Campaign

Who benefits from Workplace Campaigns?  EVERYONE!


Our community and region in which we live will benefit the most of course, due to the the availability of funds to run the programs needed to make Grande Prairie & Region a better place to live!

Employers and Employees - You can't beat the feeling of satisfaction you get when you participate in changing your community for the better and helping those less fortunate!.  Running a Workplace Campaign can also be a lot of fun!

If you are interested in getting on board - please call our office at 532-1105 to set up an appointment.  We will make it as easy as possible for you and we would be happy to visit you and your staff with an informative United Way presentation.  Join us in being UNITED FOR GOOD!

Invest in a Strong Campaign Team
We want your Grande Prairie & Region United Way employee campaign to be exceptional! And we know just how to prepare you for a successful experience – after all we’ve been doing it for over 30 years.

Teamwork
Teamwork is the focus of community building, and a team based approach will be the most efficient and effective way to run your campaign. Our team will support your team every step of the way.

How long will it take for a campaign?
That all depends on you. Employee campaigns are a great way to build employee morale and promote teamwork. Some campaigns take one day, others up to two weeks or more. It’s your choice.
