Want to connect your employees to the community? Our Loaned Executive Program is a great fit. 

CULTIVATE TALENT, DEVELOP EXPERTISE, AND RAISE VISIBILITY

United Way of the Big Bend’s (UWBB) Loaned Executive program allows your employees to build on their professional skills while giving back to the community.  These employees are “loaned” to UWBB to support our community workplace giving campaigns.

The Loaned Executive program gives your company high visibility within the community, provides a significant career enrichment opportunity for the loaned employee, and impacts hundreds of thousands of lives each year.  Make an investment in your employees and your community and reap the many benefits.

WHAT DO LOANED EXECUTIVES DO?  

From August to March, Loaned Executives work with assigned company accounts during the United Way campaign. Loaned Executives serve as ambassadors for United Way, conveying the needs of the community to encourage individuals and companies to “give, advocate & volunteer”.  Sponsored positions are available should an organization be unable to provide an employee.

COMPANY COMMITMENT – HOW TO GET STARTED

Whether you are an employer wanting to loan an executive or are interested in becoming a loaned executive yourself,  please fill the form below.

FINANCIAL COMMITMENT

Some companies are unable to loan an employee but choose to provide a financial sponsorship.  By providing a sponsorship of $5,000, you will enable UWBB to hire one individual to represent your company during campaign time.  Sponsoring an LE also sends a powerful message about your organization’s deep commitment to our community.  For more information, please contact Angela Gibbs at 850.414.0858 or angela@uwbb.org.
