Individuals seeking to contribute to the United Way can make a difference in three ways. A monetary contribution to the organization can be easily done online at http://www.give.liveunited.org by using a credit or debit card. Donors can also make donations using the convenient PayWithMyBank service, which requires no account numbers or registration. Funds received are used for education, health, volunteer, human services, reserve funds, and development initiatives.

The second option is to become a United Way advocate. Advocates come in a variety of forms, but they have the collaborative goal of improving income, health, and education. Avenues for advocating for the United Way include voting on legislative reforms that impact the organization’s goals, engaging with the community to address issues close to home, and raising awareness about the organization through various forms of social media.

Becoming a United Way volunteer is a third great option for contributing to the cause. Donating time through mentoring, tutoring, and reading will have a positive influence on a child’s life. As a result, children are more likely to achieve academic success after working with a caring United Way volunteer.
