Many people have specific causes, issues and institutions they passionately support. And they should. Donations of this type bring great personal satisfaction. But a gift to United Way adds unique value to anyone's charitable giving in a deep and integral way. United Way extends the reach of giving because we invest in agencies that many people are not likely to learn of on their own. And because all our funding is contingent upon a rigorous review process that ensures each agency we support upholds the highest degree of operations, management and governance, our donors are assured their gifts are well invested. In return, agencies continually become stronger and ever more able to maximize their impact on individuals, on communities and on the strength of our region.
This focus has not changed, but what has and will change are the needs of the community and its people. Therefore, the focus of our work-not the mission of our organization-has and will change in response. This perspective and ability to unite and apply resources where they are needed most is what makes us uniquely valuable to the community.
Extraordinary Support
United Way's Leadership program recognizes extraordinary support through our three giving societies -- the Beacon Society, which honors donors who give between $1,000 and $9,999, the Tocqueville Society, which honors donors who give $10,000 and above, and the Massachusetts Bay Legacy Circle, which recognizes the generosity of individuals and families who have provided for United Way of Massachusetts Bay through a planned gift. We are grateful for every gift, and in particular for the extraordinary giving of leadership donors. To learn more about these societies, click the links below.
