HELP US BUILD A BETTER TOMORROW IN WESTERN WISCONSIN!
Our mission at United Way St. Croix & Red Cedar Valleys, is to fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in Western Wisconsin.
United Way St. Croix & Red Cedar Valleys (UWSCRCV) workplace Campaign Champions are invaluable partners. By engaging their organizations, Campaign Champions help lead the fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in Western Wisconsin. Our Campaign Champions are helping rebuild the future of our community – a better future for each of us.
HOW WE INVEST
When a donation is made through a workplace campaign, the funds are reinvested into local nonprofit organizations through a United Way Community Impact Grant. UWSCRCV looks to invest in organizations whose work and vision align to the goal to measurably increase individual and family well-being so that every person in Western Wisconsin leads a healthy, thriving and secure life.
This is an annual application process where local nonprofits who focus their work on health, education or financial stability can apply for funding in support of their program(s). Learn more about the program and the 2024 Recipients HERE.
GETTING STARTED
If you would like to start a campaign at your workplace, UWSCRCV will provide the tools that you need for planning and implementing a campaign. With the help and guidance of the staff, you can run a successful campaign even if you have never participated in the past. To get started, contact Steve McCarthy, Executive Director for an overview and consultation. You will be most successful by offering employees the option of having a modest amount deducted from their check each pay period. Most businesses then send payments to us on a monthly or quarterly basis.
