Leadership Giving

A quality education. A stable Income. Good health.

These are the basic building blocks for success. Unfortunately they are out of reach for an estimated 300,000 people in our four-county area who live in poverty. Together we can change that.

The needs are great, but your ability to make a difference is even greater. Leadership Givers are United Way of the Columbia-Willamette’s most generous supporters and are essential in our efforts to tackle our community’s most serious issues. By making an annual contribution of $1,000 or more, you and other Leadership donors are setting an example of caring and commitment for others where you work and live.

With a single gift to United Way’s Community Fund, you’re helping create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of problems. We research the needs of the community, bring the right people, resources, and ideas together, and invest in programs that achieve measurable results.
