ways to give

The ripple effect you'll create by giving to United Way will impact thousands of people right here in our community. 

One gift to United Way Alliance will allow you to support critical community-wide initiatives and our partner agencies striving to make the Mid-Ohio Valley a better place to live and work. We invest in four focus areas - Education, Income Stability, Health and Safety Net Resources - and we report on our results each year. That's why making a gift to United Way is the most effective way for you to help the whole community.


Donate online or Give by mail

Gifts of any amount can be mailed to our office. If possible, please include the pledge card you received (if any) with your check.  You can help us put your gift to work faster by making a gift online. Our online giving is always secure and takes just a few minutes of your time! 

Donate Cryptocurrency

When you donate bitcoin or crypto to our United Way, you are donating to an organization that values financial responsibility, transparency, and accountability. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency donations to our United Way are tax deductible.

Become a Pacesetter

United Way Pacesetters is a powerful, elite group of local business, civic and philanthropic leaders who share a passion for investing in the community and making a difference with their annual gifts of $500 or more. When you join the Pacesetters, you demonstrate your leadership and deep level of commitment to the transformation of the Mid-Ohio Valley. 

Give through your workplace

Workplace campaigns enable employees to give easily via payroll deduction, donating as little or as much as you want from each paycheck. Since the donation is arranged just like federal income tax withholding, it's easier for donors to give generously. 

Become a Corporate Campaign Sponsor

Our Corporate Campaign sponsors are a key component of our annual campaign success. The support provided through this program allows us to broaden our reach and strengthen our message. Corporate campaign sponsors receive consistent visibility throughout the year and become an integral part of the good work happening at United Way. 

Leave a legacy through a planned gift

For many people, philanthropic giving is a lifelong commitment that provides both personal satisfaction and financial benefits. In addition to planting a seed that will continue to grow for generations to come, there are financial incentives that may apply to planned giving.

A charitable planned gift is the result of careful and thoughtful structuring of one’s estate to benefit one or more charitable organizations. Such a gift is commonly asset-based rather than from current income and often involves a planning process utilizing the services of legal and financial professionals (i.e., estate and tax-planning attorneys, accountants and investment advisors). A planned gift can be given in many ways, including cash, charitable trusts, life insurance, retirement plans, bequests, appreciated property, charitable gift annuities and donor advised funds.

If you are interested in making a planned gift to benefit United Way Alliance and becoming a member of the Legacy Society, please contact us.
