Your brand matters. Build a brand based on philanthropy and we all win!

What is Corporate Social Responsibility?

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to the idea that companies aren’t just responsible for their own bottom line and their shareholders, but that they should also give back in a way that benefits the community around them. In an age of increased economic hardship, climate change, glaring health care disparities, and other pressing issues happening both locally and across the globe, it’s important to both employees and customers that the companies they work for and do business with are giving back in meaningful ways.

By partnering with United Way, you are aligning yourself with a trusted and vetted local organization that is deeply invested in the work of creating a better Whatcom County for all. As a convener of community giving, our team uses the latest ALICE data to zero in on the biggest challenges facing our friends and neighbors and invests donations where they will have the greatest impact.

We know there are many barriers that keep those who are struggling from achieving financial stability. Instead of investing dollars in a single area, United Way mobilizes the power of community by sending out donations to over 20 local nonprofit organizations at once! Each and every organization undergoes a rigorous vetting process, so you can trust that your dollars are being put to good use!
