Leadership Givers are Somerset County United Way’s most generous supporters and help us create lasting change in the community. Through Leadership Gifts of $1,500 or more, these generous philanthropists set an example for others, enjoy a range of exclusive benefits and make a measurable difference in our community. We invite you to join them.
United Way understands that you want to make a difference right here in Somerset County. We want to help you do that.
Our experience tells us that the best way to help the most people is to focus on the underlying causes of the most serious problems. Here in the Somerset County area, we’re focused on critical issues like financial stability, healthy lifestyles, and life readiness. It takes the whole community working together to reach our goals in these areas. So we bring together people from all across the community – people from government, business, faith groups, non-profits, and ordinary citizens. If it requires fundraising, going to City Hall, or just getting people to work together, that’s what we do. Your United Way Leadership Gift goes to work bringing lasting change, right where you live. Because that’s what matters. Our goal is long lasting change that prevents problems from happening in the first place.
