United Way offers donors the opportunity to designate to local community goals in Education, Income and Health, to area eligible non-profit organizations, or United Ways in other communities. Donors can choose one or more areas to designate. A minimum donation of $50/designation for organizational and other community United Ways is required to keep administrative costs low. Donations which are not earmarked through a designation will be applied to the Community Impact Fund which has the greatest impact in our community and also benefits Basic Needs.
All donor designations are honored. Designations are considered "Separate Stream" and are not reliant on grant awards. Designations are subject to administrative/processing fees.
