In United Way of Lake and Sumter, there are many opportunities to give and make a difference. Whether you choose to give weekly, monthly, or annually, all options are available and life changing for so many. For example, your weekly donation of $50 for one year will keep the lights on for TEN families. Your weekly donation of $19 dollars for one year could change the life-long trajectory of more than thirty children enrolled in early learning centers. And your monthly donation of $833, or a weekly donation for one year of $193 dollars, will transport 520 veterans to and from much needed medical care for an entire year!

As you continue to give throughout the year, either as an individual, business, or through workplace giving and your employer, each contribution matters and each contributions adds up to achieve various select donor levels.

Leadership Givers
Leadership Giving contributions are those of between $1,000 and $4,999 annually. It is the generosity of our Leadership Givers that is the mainstay of United Way of Lake and Sumter’s individual giving. The 375 donors who gave at this level in 2019 provided more than $200,000.00 of our community investment and impact. While we keep a lean operation and low overhead, 94% of your Leadership Level contributions goes directly to our communities. It is a special person who gives at this level and shows true commitment to creating a healthier and stronger community for the benefit of all.
Tocqueville Society
Tocqueville members are a generous group of philanthropic leaders who support United Way and our community at a higher level. Tocqueville givers are often some of our region’s most influential business and civic leaders making difference in the lives of people who need it most. Tocqueville members may also be simply generous and wanting to impact our programs.
