Workplace Campaigns

The United Way of Portage County workplace campaign unites employees in all offices or branches of a company, and gives them an opportunity to donate, through payroll deduction, volunteer for local agencies and community service projects and speak out for causes that matter to them. You can see the results in your own backyard, even as you're part of a larger mission to affect change worldwide.

The workforce campaign is about more than raising money for worthy causes; it also strengthens connections between employees and their community. In Portage County, one example is how hundreds of employees take part in United Way's annual Day of Caring, a day where companies allow their employees to lend their time and talents through multiple community services projects throughout the county. These projects help local nonprofit organizations and programs get needed beautification projects, yard work, renovations and more done and provides an opportunity for the employees to see the work being done in the community and through their engagement.

To learn more about how your company can be involved in a workplace campaign or to find resources for existing campaigns, please contact Shawna Borkoski at 330.297.1424 or shawnab@uwportage.org.

Policy Statement Rejecting Racism, Anti-Semitism and Ethnic Discrimination

At United Way of Portage County, we know that a community thrives when everyone feels respected and included. That’s why we are committed to fostering an environment where everyone can be

themselves and achieve their full potential. We, the United Way of Portage County Board of Directors and employees, stand committed to affirming our identity as an organization that rejects all

racism, anti-Semitism and ethnic discrimination in all their forms. We recognize that systemic racism, unjust policies and practices in our institutions, and other forms of oppression have -

and continue to - marginalize entire populations of people. While racism and prejudice are not always conscious, their consequences are always dehumanizing. We denounce all forms of racism,

anti-Semitism and ethnic discrimination. They have no place in our society and undermine our efforts to create a community where all people can realize their full potential.

We stand committed to challenging and correcting inequities and ensuring that those whose voices have been quieted are heard. We will continue to work alongside all stakeholders and

partners to foster opportunities for education and awareness to create a more equitable community for all.
