Sponsoring a Greater Twin Cities United Way event is an excellent way to demonstrate your company's commitment to the community while increasing brand visibility.
Event and program sponsorships help fuel initiatives that support stable housing, nutritious food, education and economic opportunity throughout the Twin Cities metro. Sponsorship opportunities vary throughout the year and can be tailored to meet your organization's goals and budget. Greater Twin Cities United Way's signature initiatives – Flavors of Our Community, Action Day, and Home for Good – offer a variety of ways for your company to get involved.
One of our most popular opportunities is Action Day, a community-wide volunteer event that brings together thousands of individuals and organizations to ensure more students walk into school prepared, confident and ready to learn. Companies that sponsor Action Day receive guaranteed spots at our in-person volunteer event that fills up quickly each summer.
