Loaned Executive Program
Loaned Executives work for United Way Capital Area during an agreed upon period, making it possible to educate more people about the positive impact they can make through United Way. When you loan an employee to United Way Capital Area, you are investing in the future of your organization, your employee and your community. If you are unable to loan an employee to United Way Capital Area, your organization can still support the campaign by sponsoring a Loaned Executive.
