How You Can Help

You can help Brant United Way improve the lives of people in the Brant community. As a donor to the United Way, you are part of the solution and help to build a better community for all of us.

MAKE A CORPORATE DONATION

It demonstrates to your employees and the community that you are a good corporate citizen by giving back to the community and that you believe in your community. It also sets an example for fellow industry members to follow. Your corporate donation will also set an example for your employees' campaign.

RUN AN EMPLOYEE GIVING CAMPAIGN IN YOUR WORKPLACE

Empower your employees to run a workplace campaign. An employee campaign gives your staff a way to show their caring and compassion for their community. It's also a great team building exercise that will build leadership and morale and can be a lot of FUN.

Select an enthusiastic employee to organize your campaign and encourage employees to make payroll deductions or one-time pledges. Consider matching your employees' donations dollar for dollar.

BECOME A LEADER AND CHAMPION A LEADERSHIP GIVING PROGRAM

Leadership donors are those who make a personal gift of $1,000 or more. Leaders set the standard for the entire community with their expression of commitment to our community. These personal donations are the fastest growing part of our campaign.

LEND US AN EMPLOYEE

Your employee will work out of our office for 16 weeks, help us raise support from corporations and help them with their workplace campaigns.

SPONSOR AN EVENT, PROGRAM OR CAMPAIGN MATERIALS

By providing sponsorship dollars for an event or campaign materials, you help us keep our administrative costs low and ensure the maximum dollars are directed to our Agencies.

What's in it for you?

Your donation will benefit our community, but we also like to thank our donors in meaningful ways.

Be profiled in our Corporate Honour Roll

As a part of our *Brant United Way Caring Companies Program, your company will be listed in the appropriate level. Your employees, customers and stakeholders will take pride in having your company's name featured in this distinguished group. It will be featured in our Annual Report and on our website and you can use the logo in your workplace and in advertising.

Enhance employee engagement and morale

Employees develop a new sense of commitment and their jobs can become far more meaningful when they work together to support the community in which they live or work. Match their donations dollar for dollar and you will motivate them more. Employee campaign coordinators can develop leadership skills that can have immense benefits in your workplace.

Be profiled in our Leadership Honour Roll

All Leadership donors are recognized in our Leadership Honour Roll, as well as companies who run a Leadership campaign. Your employees will take pride in their company's commitment to the community.

Your company benefits from new expertise

Loaned employees bring back to your company new leadership skills and valuable experience that will strengthen your organization upon their return. By visiting other organizations, they can generate a high profile for your company. They are recognized on our website and at our Achievement Luncheon in December.

Your logo will be featured on whatever you sponsor. This develops and expands your brand in the community.
