Leadership Giving
One of the qualities of leadership is having a sense of purpose that directs a person to use his or her strengths to help others. Leadership Giving offers you the opportunity to be a part of something so much greater than any of us can achieve alone.
Your caring will have more community impact than ever before. United Way for the Greater New Orleans Area guarantees money raised here stays here. United Way is funded one gift at a time by people just like you. We do not take any gift for granted and work every day to earn your trust.
Community engagement and recognition opportunities are among several rewards for this distinctive group, which include: acknowledgement in our annual Leadership Register, the opportunity to join the Women’s Leadership Council and Tocqueville Society, E-Newsletter Updates and the ability to partner with one of the country’s most effective and respected public benefit organizations to achieve the maximum impact of your charitable gift.
In 1986, United Way honored the memory of a local philanthropist and community leader through the establishment of the Richard West Freeman Leaders In Giving Association. The group was created in order to celebrate the generosity of those who personally give $500 or more to the annual United Way Campaign.
