Your small business has a lot on its plate. Giving back shouldn’t be one more thing you have to figure out alone.

The Chamber and United Way of Cass-Clay are teaming up to help small businesses bring their employees together and make a difference through a shared workplace giving campaign—with planning support, resources and tools to help you get started.

Have approximately 50 or fewer employees? This opportunity was created The Chamber's member businesses like yours in mind.

Watch this to see how we’re making giving back easier—then take the next step!

📅 Register by Wednesday, October 21.

👉 Learn more and sign up: https://www.fmwfchamber.com/2026/09/24/newwayforsmallbusinessestogiveback/

Let’s make a difference together.

“It’s for the kids.” 💙

That’s what our friends at Great States Construction and Collective kept saying throughout their two-week workplace campaign, and they found plenty of ways to back it up!

A dunk tank, bake sale, grill-out and bags tournament helped bring coworkers together to raise $11,464 for local children and families through United Way of Cass-Clay.

Workplace campaigns give employees a way to support their community together, and we love seeing teams make it their own.

Thank you, Great States and Collective, for showing up for local kids!

What does strategic planning actually look like?

For us, it starts with listening.

Over the past few months, United Way of Cass-Clay has gathered input from across Cass and Clay Counties through community roundtables, surveys, research and conversations with nonprofit partners, business leaders, volunteers, donors, community members, our team and Board of Trustees.

Now, we’re moving into the Envision Phase and using what we’ve heard to help shape our vision and strategy through 2030 and beyond.

We’re sharing a look at what we heard, what we’re learning and what comes next. Read the full story from President and CEO, Sandi Piatz, now:
