Our Campaign Cabinet Needs You

You are a leader in Central Alberta business. You care about local issues and successes.  You understand the critical importance of business and corporate responsibility to a community and you are comfortable inviting others to join you.  

The United Way of Central Alberta’s Campaign Cabinet needs your expertise.   

Our yearly campaigns have raised tens of millions of dollars for area not-for-profit agencies since 1965. Much of these generously donated funds are generated through workplace campaigns at area businesses and industries.  Without them, we would be unable to help to local programs that address the root causes of poverty, educational under-achievement, unemployment, mental illness and other barriers right here in Central Alberta.   

Our Campaign Cabinet is a group of volunteers engaged in setting campaign goals and strategies and commits to helping direct our efforts throughout the workplace and philanthropic community. Your leadership could help local business and industry help United Way assess and meet Central Alberta’s most urgent needs. Our Campaign Cabinet members have different areas of expertise, and your skills would only enhance our reach. 

We are dedicated to finding ways to assist even more people.  Your affinity to this community and your expertise might create a vital link to ensuring local needs are met.  Simply put, we are asking you to network with your business partners, colleagues, unions and encourage them to hold a workplace campaign for United Way. If you can make the ask, our staff will take on the legwork.   

You will be able to network with leaders from many areas of business as you collaborate to plan goals and strategies for this year’s fundraising campaign.  Together, you can ensure that no business sector is unaware of the opportunity to run a campaign in their workplace.  

United Way Central Alberta will provide training and support. Your meeting commitment is one meeting every month in person or via Zoom.
