Leaders' Circle

Our success begins with those who set high standards of giving and value a stronger, healthier community. United Way's reach of caring enables donors to make the greatest difference in improving people's lives in our community.

Through payroll deduction you can be a member of the Leaders' Circle for as little as $15 per week. You can also combine gifts with a partner or spouse to reach a leadership level.

With your gift of $750 or more, you become a member of our Leadership Giving program and will receive invitations to Leadership events, a copy of our Annual Report, opportunities to participate on our community impact committees, information regarding volunteer opportunities and recognition for your generosity in our Leadership Honor Roll.

Donors who give $10,000 or more also become members of the prestigious Alexis de Tocqueville Society. Step forward and lead through example by demonstrating your commitment to our community.
