Leaders come from every corner of Metro Vancouver. They inspire others with their desire to make people’s lives better. Leadership Giving is the fastest growing area of United Way’s Workplace Campaign. In 2011, leadership donations accounted for 26% of all contributions for our Workplace Campaign.

Benefits of being a Leadership donor

• You give, we match - New and current Leadership donors ($1,000+) may have an opportunity to have 100% of their gift matched through the Philanthropists’ Circle gift matching program. That’s double the donation and twice the impact. Does your gift qualify?
