MAKE THE CONNECTIONS & WE’LL DO THE REST.
You’re here because of who you are in this community! You are connected. You’re influential. You’re making a difference. But we don’t want to make this hard on you!
We ask that you tap into your network and connect us. You make the connections. We’ll handle the rest!
One of the best ways to strengthen our corporate relationships is to hold strategic conversations with Senior Executives and key decision-makers in our community to gain a deep understanding of a company's business and philanthropic goals. Below, you’ll find tools and resources for you to make a United Way introduction!
