Fearless Leaders in Giving

Recognized Givers have a deep commitment to helping people. Local leaders make annual investments of $1,000 or more into our Central MN community through United Way. The passion, purpose, and enthusiasm of these generous individuals acts as a rally cry inspiring others and infusing hope into those who need it most.

Our goal is to always bring you into the fold, as Leaders in Giving are the ultimate loyalists, help us see trends, and are the true brand advocates who understand what United Way of Central MN does.
