What is the Loaned Executive program?
During the peak campaign season, United Way calls on its corporate partners to lend their best and brightest employees. Loaned Executives (LEs) assist United Way staff in the development and implementation of workplace campaigns.
Specifically, LEs lend their expertise and energy to help United Way expand solicitation efforts, reach new markets and broaden the base of community giving. In doing so, LEs help strengthen the United Way commitment to advancing the common good in our community by focusing on the building blocks of a good life-education, income and health.
Why is the program important?
Loaned Executives keep fundraising costs low by maximizing staff and volunteer efforts. In return, United Way provides a unique management program that develops sales and executive leadership skills and an understanding of community organizations. The Loaned Executive program is an excellent investment for your company, the loaned employee and the community.
