Leadership 2020-2021

LEADERSHIP GIVING

2020-2021

WHO ARE UNITED WAY LEADERS?

Leaders are everyday people who recognize the growing issues facing our community, including access to mental health support, domestic violence, pandemic recovery, school readiness, homelessness, and poverty. These caring and generous individuals believe and trust that United Way can help solve these issues. We mobilize our community in ways that no single agency, individual, or government can to enhance the ability of people to care for one another.

Change doesn't happen alone United Way Leaders invest in the community by making a gift of $500 or more each year. United Way Leaders know that lasting and positive change is possible, and our community is strongest and healthiest when everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential

United Way addresses the needs important to people who live and work in Crawford, Franklin, LeFlore, Logan, Sebastian, and Sequoyah counties.

LEADERSHIP GIVING LEVELS

The individuals listed in this book are leaders in philanthropy whose wholehearted generosity supports the health, education, financial stability, and crisis needs of individuals in the communities served by the United Way of Fort Smith Area

The vanguard of the United Way Leadership Groups is the Alexis de Tocqueville Society, members of which annually contribute gifts of $10,000 or more

Other premier donor groups include the Cornerstone Club, giving a minimum of $2,500 each year to United Way’s stellar network of agencies, and the Pillar Club, which gratefully acknowledges those making vitally important gifts starting at $1,000

Finally, serving as fertile ground from which all ascending United Way leadership groups bloom, the Foundation Club recognizes contributors who make gifts from $500 to $999.

WE NEVER CEASE TO BE AMAZED BY THE KINDNESS AND GENEROSITY DISPLAYED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE SOCIETY.
