Leadership Level Giving
Join a dedicated network of local donors whose significant annual support ensures vital programs are there for our neighbors when they need them most.
Your Leadership Driving Change
Meaningful local impact is a collaborative effort. You can choose to lead individually or as part of a workplace campaign. Both pathways are vital to our community’s success.
By stepping up to the Leadership Level, which begins at $1,200 annually ($23/week), your gift becomes part of a powerful network of more than 1,000 local donors dedicated to addressing the root causes of poverty and social exclusion in Elgin Middlesex.
While many individuals choose to give personally, we are proud that so many of the companies, organizations, and unions that run workplace campaigns actively promote and celebrate Leadership giving. Whether contributed through a personal gift or a workplace payroll deduction, your commitment ensures that vital local programs are there for our neighbors when they need them most.
Leading by example
“I first connected with United Way back in high school in Windsor, when I proudly served as a student ambassador. From that moment on, I discovered the joy that comes from being part of something bigger than myself and supporting the incredible work United Way does in our community.
Through my workplace campaign, that connection has only grown stronger. Volunteering with partner agencies and seeing the impact up close has been eye-opening. It’s where I’ve truly seen lives changed and hope restored. When I had the privilege of serving as my workplace campaign chair, I gained a whole new perspective. I saw firsthand the incredible difference that leadership donors make in building a stronger, more caring community. That experience deeply inspired me, and it’s what led me to become a leadership donor myself. It’s my way of helping ensure United Way can continue creating lasting change where it’s needed most.”
