What is Leadership Giving?
United Way of Long Island's leadership giving program promotes and recognizes individual gifts of $1,000 or more annually. Last year, several hundred Long Islanders took community investing to the next level to qualify as a Leadership Giver. These are people who understand the needs of those less fortunate and set an outstanding example to others in our community.
United Way of Long Island invites you to become a Leadership Giver. Your partnership is important to us and the lives of others on Long Island. With your help, we can build a better community by investing in what matters most-changing lives where you live.
