The Three Amigos Leadership Challenge
The Three Amigos have issued a challenge to raise $15,000 more in Leadership Gifts (individual gifts of $1,000 or more). If we do, they'll match that with an additional $15,000 iin matching funds to support United Way South Niagara's programs and services. Thanks to their generosity, your 2012 Leadership gift becomes even more powerful, helping more people in need. That makes this the perfect time to become a first-time Leadership donor or increase your existing Leadership gift.
How it Works
New Leadership Donors: Your new gift of $1,000 or more to United Way will be matched dollar for dollar. For example, when you donate $1,000, United Way receives $2,000 - double the amount!
Renewing Leadership Donors: Terry Duffy, Rick Lowes and Peter Papp will match any increase over 10% to your previous $1,000+ donation. For example, when you increase your gift to United Way from $1,000 to $2,000, United Way will receive $2,900. (The increase of $1,000 - 10% = $900).

Message from the 2012 Leadership Giving Co-Chairs, Rick & Mel Groom
Being a leader is about helping to create change and inspiring others to do the same. As the 2012 Leadership Co-Chairs for United Way of South Niagara, we look forward to joining with others to create positive change for those in need in our local community.
Making a leadership gift demonstrates that you are willing to make an investment where you live. Leadership donors are those who make a contribution of $1,000 or more; together those dollars represent more than 14% of all funds raised by United Way. You can entrust your gift to United Way, which invests your money in three priority areas: From Poverty to Possibility; All That Kids and Families Can Be; and Healthy People, Strong Communities.
The programs funded by United Way make a difference by creating measureable, lasting change within our community. This is only possible through the generosity of donors, particularly Leaders, who set a profound example of giving. Thank you to the 54 Leaders of the Way who demonstrated a strong commitment to our community last year. We hope that you join us by making a Leadership gift this year. Leadership gifts make change possible, and thanks to United Way, positive change is happening for thousands of people in our community.
Benefits of Leadership Giving
Leaders come from every walk of life and from every corner of our community. They inspire us with their commitment and their desire to make a difference. Donors who give $1,000 or more annually become part of United Way’s Leadership Giving program.
Leadership Giving is the best way to make a profound difference in our community and we hope you will consider giving at one of our Leadership levels:
