Loaned Executive Program

Through collaboration with the United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania, The Loaned Executive Program allows your company's employees to expand their skills by acting as account managers, with both United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania and North Penn United Way staff, to plan and implement the annual fundraising campaign. These individuals are appointed by their employers to assist with the annual United Way fundraising campaign from mid-August through completion (approximately 3-4 months). Working with United Way staff, they coordinate and manage effective employee campaigns at participating businesses throughout the North Penn and Indian Valley communities.

Loaning an employee to United Way

The Loaned Executive Program makes it possible for the North Penn United way to keep its overhead costs low, while educating, inspiring, and motivating your employees to invest in our community. Loaned Executives come from all areas of the workforce, including middle management, clerical, organized labor, and even retirees. You may select as many employees as you wish to participate in the program. Throughout the campaign, they will develop valuable contacts and experience as they contribute their time and talents to its success. We will work with you to assign your Loaned Employee to an area that best suits his or her strengths.

The ideal candidate

The ideal candidate believes in the mission of the United Way, has a strong desire to make a difference in the community, is able to manage multiple tasks, works easily in a fast-paced environment, and is highly motivated and enthusiastic.
