Campaign Leader Resources
WELCOME, campaign leaders
As a campaign leader, you have decided to help those in our communities who need it most.
As you speak with your co-workers, remember that you are not simply asking them to donate. You're rallying them to join a united solution. What does that mean? It means working together to invest in proven programs, local nonprofits, and an equitable future.
Here are the tools you will need to run an effective workplace campaign. Thank you for partnering with us and making a lasting difference.
For more information, contact Sylvia Mburu at sylvia.mburu@unitedwayri.org or (401) 444-0600.
