The Leadership Giving Program
The Leadership Giving Program was created for those who are committed to advancing the common good in south Wood and Adams Counties. Leadership Givers provide passion and inspirational leadership that enables United Way to drive real change.
The Leadership Giving Program:
- Recognizes exceptional gifts

In 2025, 236 Leadership Givers donated $249,575, which is 45% of the United Way campaign. You are invited to lead the effort and become a cornerstone in building stronger local communities!
