Leadership Giving
Leading change in Calgary
Leadership Donors in Calgary and the surrounding area continually support our community with their generosity. By giving $1,200 or more annually to United Way, Leadership Donors invest in initiatives that support people through difficult economic times. The initiatives help individuals develop sustainable livelihoods, take control of their finances, and build the confidence necessary to lead themselves and their families to a better future.
Leadership Donor levels, as donated annually:
See your impact
Your donation changes local lives every day. For example, with a Leadership level donation of $1,200, you can ensure 100 homeless youth are equipped with hygiene care packages, or buy five hours of court support for eight people leaving domestic violence situations. Your impact only increases from there: with an investment of $9,999, you can provide rental support to six low-income families, ensuring they can stay in their homes, or backpacks of basic school supplies for 1,000 children.
