Help United Way Invest Annual Campaign Donations
In The Best Local Nonprofit Organizations • • • •

Each Spring, United Way recruits volunteers in Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma and San Juan Counties to invest money in the best local nonprofit organizations. This process, called the Community Investment process, allows participants to learn about our community's needs, to learn about the nonprofits that are addressing those needs and then to recommend to United Way which groups are the most worthy of funding. To learn more, send an e-mail to Tim Walsworth (timw@unitedway-swco.org) indicating your interest and state what county you live in.

Help United Way in the Durango Office • • • •
United Way’s home office in Durango seeks dependable and detail oriented volunteers to assist with administrative office duties, especially in the Fall during our annual fundraising drive. Duties could include coordination and preparation of bulk mailing, assisting with processing of donations, answering phones, opening mail, creating new process to distribute campaign support information to local businesses, and other duties as appropriate. To learn more, send an e-mail to Tim Walsworth (timw@unitedway-swco.org) indicating your interest.
