How can we help?
Employee Engagement Assessments
Engagement surveys establish two-way communication and involve employees in a philanthropic planning process by giving them a direct voice to leadership. In turn, allowing companies an understanding of employee motivations and values to better lead philanthropic strategies.
Onsite and Offsite Volunteer Experiences
Let’s collaborate to design and execute a service project that addresses the interests, values, and goals of your organization. We accommodate groups of various sizes for customized volunteer opportunities, either remote or in-person. United Way assists with logistics and can help match the best opportunity for you.
Community Investment Strategy
Our team will utilize information provided by your organization’s landscape analysis and employee assessments to work with key stakeholders and senior leadership to help align your investment strategy to best meet the goals your organization is looking to accomplish for our community.
Empathy Awareness
Empathy Awareness simulations are powerful, experiential opportunities to learn about the challenges people face when struggling with limited resources. Participants will walk in the shoes of families living on a limited budget and navigate through unforeseen circumstances through the lens of those living in or near poverty.
Immersive Learning
Our facilitators will guide your team through engagement activities around how racial inequities permeate our local community on an individual, institutional and systemic level and as a result provide ways for you to make lasting and meaningful change within your workplace and community.
Consulting Management
Our team act as program officers for companies without dedicated staff, or in a support position for existing personnel, to help manage individual programs and employee engagement events. We can act as a grantmaking advisor, or to develop governance, programmatic and operation strategies with fiscal due diligence.

Feel Connected to Work
Employee engagement improves productivity and business results. Giving employees the ability to choose the causes and charities they support, using tools that drive decision making and showcasing visual impact directly correlates to increased engagement and productivity.
Sense of Civic Responsibility
84% of Americans believe businesses have a responsibility to bring social change on critical issues. In a rapidly changing environment, maximize your brand image and loyalty with positive social initiatives that directly connect to tangible wins for our community.
Retention and Attraction
Millennial and Gen-Z employees measure the success of their careers in both advancement and positive impact on the world around them. Data shows, employees most want to work for an organization who prioritizes giving back in their own community.
“United Way of Central Indiana has been an invaluable partner in our effort to create AxiaTP’s community engagement strategy. The SPA Program was the key to understanding how we can best serve the community in the most meaningful way to our team. United Way not only helped us identify causes near and dear to our team members’ hearts, but they have gone above and beyond in ensuring we can turn our passion into action through local organizations and volunteer opportunities. I would highly recommend this program to any business who is looking to start or enhance their community engagement strategy to make an impact.”
— Amber Knight, Senior Marketing Manager at AxiaTP
