United Way of Salt Lake (UWSL) partners with dedicated individuals and corporations to seek equity for every person in our community. When we work together, we can build systems that ensure students graduate from high school, individuals have access to quality healthcare, and kids and families have the financial stability needed to be successful in school and in life. UWSL creates education opportunities for youth, invests in goals focused on community-level change, and measures data – all to create long-lasting results. And we can’t do it without you.
Looking for the right way to inform your team about United Way of Salt Lake's work? The Workplace Toolkit has emails, campaign posters and flyers, and impact statements that will highlight your company's commitment to our community and encourage employees to participate in your Workplace Giving Campaign.
