Workplace feel-goods

Each year, workplace giving generates more than $3 million for the United Way of Central Minnesota. Three million! That number is as impressive as it is integral to our fundraising efforts in order to continue to bolster the programs we spearhead in our community. A workplace giving campaign grants businesses of any size the ability to rally its employees around a charitable cause that directly impacts people in the community.
