I support the United Way of Southwest Colorado because they give donors a responsible and safe way to give funds to organizations in need. I know that any UW partner agency has been carefully vetted and is making trustworthy choices with my gift dollars. And best of all, funds raised here stay here in our community, so I know that I’m making a difference that I can see in my neighborhood.

I’ve supported United Way with a small deduction from each paycheck and volunteer because of the equitable and impactful way that United Way funds invest in our nonprofit agencies and the community. I serve on the United Way Board because I am passionate about collaborative community work; we are stronger together and that is what United Way represents to me.
