Leadership Giving Society

Gifts of $500 or more annually

At the heart of every meaningful effort to help others is a group of caring, generous, and community-minded individuals who invest in positive change. We are grateful to those who donate $500 or more each year; these individuals form our Leadership Giving Society, which is essential to the success of Monadnock United Way. These leaders have paved the way for others in our community to follow.
