LEADERSHIP GIVING individuals  take a leadership role in their giving and are inspired by what they can accomplish together

Their generosity, compassion and dedication make a real impact on the lives of people in our community.

How This Helps

Leadership Giving provides the fastest way to help increase total dollars raised in the campaign, and the networking opportunities offered within the groups boost your organization’s presence in the community. Emphasize Leadership Giving and Management Participation. Your company leaders can help set the stage for a successful campaign by making their personal pledges early. This will demonstrate that commitment to the community and United Way is a strong internal value.

 

Strategies

• Encourage Leader’s Circle as an easy and effective way for all donors to make an investment in United Way based on a percentage of their salary.
• Encourage Community Builders to those who give at a leadership giving level but do not qualify fir a United Way affinity group.
• Promote the benefits to membership for United Way’s Leadership Giving groups: Key Club, Young Leadership Group, Cinquefoil Fellowship, Women's Leadership Council, Pride Council, and the Alexis de Tocqueville Society.
• Recognize the people that gave last at these levels last year. Others will want to know more about how to get involved.
• Recognize individuals who give at Leadership levels through special recognition events, personalized letters from senior management or exclusive incentives
