Leadership Giving

 

For over 50 years, United Way of Whatcom County has been committed to helping mobilize community leaders, donors, and public and private agencies to address the problems in our community that matter most. Our efforts are centered around the desire to help make Whatcom County a better place to live, work and raise our families. Thanks to members of the Tocqueville Society and Leadership Givers, we’re actually accomplishing that.

 

Your support of United Way of Whatcom County is having a real impact on our community. You are improving childcare. You are helping senior citizens continue to lead healthy and active lifestyles. You are empowering troubled adults to become self-sufficient. And there is so much more.

 

United Way of Whatcom County is working hard to ensure that every dollar you give is used appropriately and efficiently in doing what matters most in our community.

 

Your leadership commitment is producing real results.


Last year, dedicated Whatcom County community members like you had a huge impact on the success of the United Way campaign. Our Leadership Giving program paved the way for generosity by raising more than $390,000 in 2005. We must lead by example if we are to continue to have an impact in our community.

 

The outcome of our investments is that real people in our community are better prepared to be productive citizens and live healthy, happy lives. The lives we change and the community we shape is what matters most here in Whatcom County.
