United Way of Metropolitan Dallas

Leadership Giving

Through my support of United Way as a Leadership Giver I know many individuals receive help that dramatically improves their lives — it is great to know my gift positively makes a difference. - Kay Gribbin, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas

Increase your impact and demonstrate a spirit of caring for our community that inspires others as a Leadership Giver. Alongside nearly 6,000 fellow North Texans, you lead by example, through your financial investment, actions and voice. Your passion and generosity help to significantly improve Education, Income and Health in our region.

As a Leadership Giver, you join a special society of United Way donors who work together to create lasting positive change where we live. Through specialized volunteer events, advocacy efforts and exclusive networking opportunities, you gain a stronger sense of how your United Way gift impacts the community while engaging with other professionals with a philanthropic heart.

How to Join

Leadership Givers invest an annual gift of $1,000 or more — just $20 per week. They play a vital role in the work of United Way as it invests in programs and services targeting the critical community issues in Education, Income and Health.

To become a member or for more information, contact Michelle Hanson, Director of Leadership Giving, at 214.978.0033.
