Leadership Giving - Investing in our Community

At the core of every worthwhile endeavor are leaders whose caring and personal leadership set the course for others. In our community, hundreds of generous and caring individuals are partnering with United Way to change lives and build community. You can have the greatest impact on issues you care about by working with United Way of Lowndes County as your philanthropic advisor.


As a leadership giver, you can combine public purpose with private giving to make strategic investments in the whole range of health and human service issues in our community. Because United Way only funds programs with proven methods that match our community's needs, you can be assured that your investment is really making a difference.

Leadership Givers:

  • Set a standard for caring for our community
  • Receive invitations to special events exclusive to leadership givers

The Riverine Society

 

The United Way of Lowndes County's Riverine Society was formed by compassionate community leaders to encourage philanthropy and honor the generosity of individuals contributing $500 or more.

In every community there are those who assume positions of leadership - those who inspire by example and form the foundation upon which the community draws its strength. The Riverine Society, which draws its name from the historic rivers which flow through our community, is that extraordinary group of leadership givers of the United Way of Lowndes County.

For of those of you who may be considering membership for the first time, we welcome you. By joining the United Way of Lowndes County’s distinguished leaders in giving, you support the vital work of locally supported agencies whose spirit, dedication, and year-round volunteer efforts touch the lives of us all.

United Way of Lowndes County is proud to be your community partner. Together we continue to effectively maximize the impact of your contribution while supporting a broad network of human care, crisis, youth development, and special needs programs here at home.

To those of you who have a history of giving to United Way of Lowndes County at the leadership level, we extend our heartfelt thanks. Should you have friends and colleagues who are not yet members of The Riverine Society, we ask that you encourage them to consider becoming a part of this benevolent group.

Your gift represents your personal commitment to make our community a better place in which to live, and enables local organizations to be more responsive to those around us.

In 2004, United Way will celebrated 50 years of service to its agencies and the local community.  Won't you help us ensure that United Way will continue to care for our community the next 50 years?
