Community Investment Is a Great
Investment!
A gift through the United Way Community
Campaign is the best way to stand up for your
community because it creates lasting change
right here in our region:
- Your gift to Community Investment
helps to ensure success for children,
healthy and financially stable families, and a
safety net of services for everyone in need,
all across our region, all year long. These
are the building blocks of a strong
community.
- United Way partner agencies are
carefully monitored by experienced
volunteers to ensure that your contributions
are spent wisely, on programs that give
results.
- 88.5 cents of every dollar donated goes
directly to fund programs and services in
our communities. That’s far more than the
Better Business Bureau’s acceptable standard
of 65 cents on the dollar.
