Sponsored Executives
Sponsored Executives lead the way to a successful fundraising campaign!
Sponsored Executives bring energy and people power to organizing hundreds of United Way Winnipeg’s workplace campaigns across the city. With their professional talents and passion for making a difference, Sponsored Executives are a key component of our annual campaign and one of the ways we can fundraise so cost-effectively.
How do I become a Sponsored Executive?
Our Leadership Development Program brings together employees, on loan from employers, to United Way Winnipeg’s office for 16 weeks to become Sponsored Executives.
Sponsored Executives learn about our city’s challenges and the role we all play in building a healthier city for everyone who lives here. Professional training in project management, strategic analysis, public speaking, and more is all included, so you emerge with more robust leadership skills and capabilities as effective and efficient fundraisers.
