Your Passion, Not Mine
Something that not many people know about me is that I was homeschooled for two years during elementary school.
How to Build the Best Volunteer Opportunities
You need in-house volunteer opportunities to build new relationships and strengthen old relationships. But, how do you build volunteer opportunities that meet your needs and appeal to the community?
Volunteer Matchmaking Does You No Good
Your volunteering opportunities have made a lot of good happen for your community. But, how much good did those volunteer opportunities do for your United Way?
Where Did Your Donors Go?
Many United Ways have faced the challenge of decreasing numbers of donors. Frequently, United Ways tell us that their donor rolls have dwindled over the years, no matter how hard they try to attract and retain new donors.

What is your United Way doing to raise awareness of the issue you are focused on addressing in your community?
Honoring & Supporting Moms This Mother’s Day
A donation has been made in your honor this Mother’s Day to help Bay Area mothers living in poverty provide for their families. We are touched by this generosity and hope you are, too. On behalf of the community we serve, thank you and Happy Mother’s Day.
