United Way’s Leadership Circle, our largest and most diverse group of donors, provides the foundation for a stronger Lehigh Valley.
Together, the Leadership Circle ensures that more children are able to read at grade-level, more families have access to healthy, nutritious food, more seniors are able to stay in their homes and our neighbors are supported with emergency services in times of crisis.
When you give at the Leadership Circle level, you will receive:
- An invitation to our Leadership Event
- An opportunity to experience your contributions in action during impact events
- Access to leadership-focused volunteer projects for your team or workplace
Members contribute $1,000 annually (about $19 a week) by credit card or payroll deduction, where applicable. For more information, please contact us at [email protected].
“Giving through United Way provides us with a simpler and more structured way to support the charities and organizations we believe in.”
