Leadership in Giving

 

 

Every community has its leaders who generously donate their time, talent and financial resources to human service organizations, civic groups, education and the arts.  These individuals provide a foundation of strength upon which our community has been able to grow, thrive and respond to the needs of our residents.

 In 1997 several local community leaders established the Heart of Lakes United Way’s “Leadership in Giving” program with the belief that leading by example would inspire friends, peers and associates to step forward to make a difference.

Since then, “Leadership in Giving” has continued to grow, significantly strengthening our community by increasing the ability of United Way funded agencies to provide needed services.

 As government funding declines, local needs will, without a doubt, continue to increase. However, through the commitment and generosity of individuals like you, our community will be able to offer a quality of life for our families, friends, neighbors and employees that we can all be proud of.

If you are currently a Leadership Giver, a sincere thanks goes out to you on behalf of thousands of local recipients. If you are not a Leadership Giver, please consider a gift today
