What impact does Leadership Giving have on the Community Campaign?

In 2010, Leadership giving (donations of $1,000+) accounted for over $600,000 from over 350 donors, or 22%, of the $2.68 million raised in United Way’s Annual Campaign. Your dreams and your investment in United Way have made this community a better place in which to live and work.

United Way gratefully recognizes your gift by:

- Mailing you a letter of thanks

- Including your name along with other Leadership Donors in United Way publications
