Donate At Work. Change Lives Here At Home.
Every year, thousands of Santa Cruz County employees get involved in workplace giving campaigns to support our local solutions that improve youth success, family financial stability, and health. Considered one of the greatest social inventions in American history, the United Way workplace campaign unites employees in all offices or branches of a company, and gives them the opportunity to donate, volunteer, and even speak out for causes that tap into their passion. United Way makes it easy for employees to make a difference in their own community.
Here is everything you need to make your United Way workplace campaign fun, easy, and wildly successful!
When you give to United Way of Santa Cruz County, your gift goes directly towards our United 4 Youth Initative and United Way Youth Programs. We believe when youth thrive, we all thrive!
