A United Way Retirees Campaign gives your former employees another outlet to remain active in the community and be part of your organization’s team. As retirees, they are a part of one of the fastest growing segments of our population and often have the greatest capacity and inclination to give back to our community. 

Whether you're a seasoned philanthropist or just starting your journey, incorporating a comprehensive strategy can enhance the impact of your generosity.  We can help you to create and implement a sustainable plan, allows you to give efficiently, and allows for flexibility as your goals change. ​

Corporate sponsorship illustrates your organizations commitment to the community through United Way.  When you invest in United Way, you create a win-win partnership that benefits your company, United Way, and Carlton County.
