Workplace giving

Workplace Giving

Support Indigenous Wellness Through Your Workplace

Workplace giving is a powerful way to support Urban Indigenous Collective’s mission while also encouraging a culture of reciprocity within your organization. Your employer may offer payroll deductions, employee giving portals, matching gifts, or volunteer time match programs to increase your impact.

Payroll Contributions

Employee Resource Group & Affinity Group Partnerships

Employer Matching Gifts

Make a recurring gift through your employer’s payroll system. Small monthly gifts create long-term stability for our wellness, education, and land-based healing programs.

Employer Matching Gifts

Employee Resource Group & Affinity Group Partnerships

Employer Matching Gifts

Many employers match employee donations 1:1 or even 2:1. Your contribution could go twice as far in supporting Indigenous communities across Lenapehoking.

Employee Resource Group & Affinity Group Partnerships

Employee Resource Group & Affinity Group Partnerships

Indigenous, LGBTQIA2S+, sustainability, or DEI-focused ERGs can partner with UIC through workplace campaigns, peer engagement initiatives, or volunteer skill-sharing.

Alignment & Accountability

We partner only with companies whose external practices and internal culture do not violate or contradict Indigenous sovereignty, environmental justice, survivor safety, or community well-being.

peer to peer campaigns

Peer-to-Peer Campaigns

Mobilize Your Community to Support Indigenous Wellness

Peer-to-peer (P2P) campaigns are one of the most impactful ways to support UIC’s mission. By calling in your community, friends, family, colleagues, affinity groups, or social networks, you help us reach people who may never have connected with our organization otherwise.

Alignment & Accountability

How It Works

  1. Create a Personal Campaign Page
    Dedicate your birthday, a holiday, a run/walk, or a community moment to support Indigenous-led healing.
  2. Share Your Story
    Tell your community why Indigenous sovereignty, wellness, and justice matter to you.
  3. Invite People to Give
    Every gift, no matter the size, helps sustain our programs year-round.


Perfect for:

  • Corporate ERG fundraisers (linked to Workplace Giving)
  • Pride month fundraisers (linked to IndigiPride)
  • Focused campaigns (linked to MMIWG2S+ Summit)
  • Year-end giving and celebrations
  • Cultural or community events

Why Peer-to-Peer Campaigns Matter

P2P campaigns increase awareness across networks, support organizational sustainability, and empower community members to become ambassadors for Indigenous people’s wellness in a city that lacks direct services for us.

We offer sponsorship opportunities across our three cornerstone events.

Alignment in Sponsorships & Partnerships

UIC accepts sponsorships only from partners whose internal practices and external corporate behavior do not cause harm to Indigenous people, survivors, or the environment. We do not partner with companies whose work conflicts with our mission, values, or community safety.
