LEADERSHIP GIVING

Leadership Giving

Let Your Actions Inspire Those Around You

The Leadership Circle is made up of individuals who solve problems and demonstrate their conscientious, compassionate and caring leadership through a personal contribution of $500 or more to the United Way of Seneca County.

The Leadership Circle was created to acknowledge and honor those individuals whose leadership and commitment to the common good have been uncommon in generosity. On behalf of the many lives who are touched each year, we thank these visionary leaders for their outstanding annual support. If you are not a United Way leader, please consider becoming a part of this important community effort.

Leadership Giving asks more but it also does more. 

The generosity of our leadership givers has a critical impact on our county’s ability to fill the unmet needs of our neighbors. They empower the United Way to assess community issues, unite service providers, coordinate a collective response, focus on prevention, invest in long-lasting solutions, create change, and measure the results.
