Our partnership with KPMG

"When choosing our national community partner United Way stood out for a number of reasons. Their flexibility and 'fit' with the values of our organisation were clear, as was their ability to deliver a national program at the local level through Workplace Giving, Corporate Connect and Seeing is Believing.  Everyone at United Way is a delight to work with and the relationship is a true partnership".

Catherine Hunter, KPMG

We work with you to build a Corporate Community Involvement program that delivers maximum benefit to the community, your company and your staff.

We have a 4 stage process that makes it easy for our corporate partners to get active and engaged.

  • partner discovery
  • program development
  • program implementation
  • evaluation

Partner discovery

We spend time with you to learn more about your company, culture, current community activities and aspirations for the future. We also engage with staff to understand where their community interests lie and how we can respond to them.

Program development

With this knowledge we develop a program  that:

  • is tailored to meet you and your staff's needs
  • includes a range of staff engagement channels (Workplace Giving, Corporate Connect volunteering and Seeing is Believing Education programs)
  • is supported by a team of champions that we can help select, train and support
  • extends to our national network so that your staff become involved in the community in which they live and work 
  • includes an electronic interface with your pay system to save you resources when processing Workplace Giving donations

Program implementation

We will work with you to:

  • launch the program throughout the company for maximum visibility
  • create a communications platform that raises program awareness and showcases the impact we are making in the community
  • roll out a series of Corporate Connect volunteering and Seeing is Believing programs

Program evaluation

At regular intervals we evaluate the program to:

  • ensure that all our aspirations are being achieved
  • identify areas for improvement
  • plan for future years
