Lakes Region United Way
Lakes Region United Way

Resource Center

The largest part of our annual fundraising effort is the workplace of local companies, and this effort is entirely dependent on the United Way Employee Campaign Coordinator (ECC), our key volunteer and advocate within each company. The ECC represents the Lakes Region United Way in their place of business, acts as liaison, and coordinates the workplace fundraising campaign.

Their dedication helps the Lakes Region United Way in our mission to advance the common good by improving lives and strengthening our community.

This page provides our volunteer ECCs with the tools they need for running a successful fundraising campaign at their company. The items below can all be downloaded and put to immediate use.
