How We Serve United Ways
Perspectives provides research and strategic planning to help United Ways be relevant, sustainable, and impactful.
Changing Times
A lot has changed over the last five years. COVID-19 shook the foundation of charitable giving, it has never been easier for donors to give directly to their chosen agencies, and younger donors don’t seem to want or need what United Way provides. With all of this change, what can United Ways do to stay relevant and sustainable?
Changing United Ways
Philosopher Viktor Frankl once said,
“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
Now is the time for United Ways to change. Our Issue Focus Model will provide your United Way with a guide to change that will make your United Way more appealing to donors, increase revenue, and set a path for creating lasting impact in your community.
