United Way is Leading the Way

For over 100 years, United Way of Danville-Pittsylvania County has been at the heart of creating meaningful change and opportunities within our community. Through services, referrals, and financial support, we work hand-in-hand with our neighbors to build a brighter future for everyone. None of this would be possible without the generosity and dedication of people like you.

Together with our donors, we’re opening doors to a better life for those in need, offering hope and support to individuals and families throughout the region.

To help make a difference, we’ve provided campaign materials that companies can use to inspire and encourage employee giving. These resources are designed to make running a campaign easy, helping employees contribute to the causes that matter most - right here in our community.

What does "running campaigns" mean?

At United Way of Danville-Pittsylvania County, one of our key fundraising strategies is through workplace campaigns. These campaigns offer businesses the opportunity to involve their employees in supporting local causes by donating through payroll deduction. By contributing this way, employees can allocate a portion of their income directly to their community.

I’ve started a campaign at my company - what's next?

Have a look at our campaign materials, which provides downloadable resources to help you run a successful campaign. Many companies also host fun events to encourage employee participation - like chili cook-offs, bake sales, raffles, and more. Leadership teams can set an example by offering to match employee contributions.

My company doesn't run a campaign - how can I still support you?

No problem! You can contribute individually to United Way of Danville-Pittsylvania County. Donations can be made directly here - 98.5% of all donations stay in Danville-Pittsylvania County.
