Leadership Outreach Areas

It’s about more than just raising funds to meet and prevent human need. It’s about networking with other women through a mutual commitment to and relationship with United Way.

What is “POWER of the PURSE”?

An incredible group of women committed to significantly improving the quality of life in the Big Bend through philanthropic giving, advocacy and volunteerism.

How does the Community Investment Process work?

1. A donation to United Way is made

2. Local Agencies submit grant proposals for funding

3. A group of trained community volunteers serve on the Allocation panel and decide where the dollars go

4. All donations stay in Big Bend (unless directed otherwise by the donor)

5. $.83 of every dollar goes to support local programs

One gift at a time…..

= $3

= $5

= $10
