LEADERSHIP INVESTMENT SOCIETY

Our Leadership Investment Society members play a critical role in United Way’s future and make an important difference in our ability to raise the resources needed to make our community’s critical health and human service needs. Members of the Leadership Investment Society make an annual commitment to the campaign of anywhere from $1,000 to $9,999.

When you make an annual gift of $1,000 or more (that’s $20/week), you are helping our community in so many ways. Here are a few examples of what a $1,000 gift provides.

One-month stay for a mother and her children at a domestic violence shelter

180 meals delivered to homebound seniors

Emergency assistance after a disaster for two families

Join other leaders in helping people in this extraordinary way. Together, we celebrate, learn, and encourage others.

ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE SOCIETY

The Alexis de Tocqueville Society give recognition to individuals who contribute a minimum of $10,000 to the United Way annually. The name of the society was chosen because of de Tocqueville’s admiration for the American spirit of volunteerism and philanthropy. Tocqueville members stand as strong symbols of support for initiates and programs that improve lives while building a stronger, healthier, more vibrant community.
