Leadership Giving
United Way’s Leadership Giving Society recognizes generous investors who have demonstrated their commitment to improving lives in our community by annually giving $1,000 or more. Leadership gifts are an outstanding way to make an investment in our community. They help United Way continue our work to crush poverty in Erie County.
