Give » Leadership Giving

The leadership giving in Bay County is tremendous. In fact, United Way of Bay County ranks in the 95th percentile of Metro IV United Ways regarding leadership giving.

Pillars Club consists of individuals and families that make a high level contribution to United Way of Bay County. The Pillars Club is a component of leadership giving. The members of Pillars Club are as diverse as the community they represent. Members represent social services, labor, management, retirees, government, education and others. These members contribute a minimum of $1,000. That contribution may be made individually or combined with another significant donation to total $1,000 or more. We attract high-level donors because we make great efforts to involve a broad base of the community in all our United Way activities. Pillars Club members are recognized by name and business in a booklet published once a year, as well as in the Bay City Times.  Each new member receives a token of our appreciation in the form of a desktop award and all members receive a Pillars News, a quarterly newsletter to keep them up-to-date on current happenings at United Way.

YOUR DOLLARS COUNT!

United Way has secured a multi-year matching grant from the Rollin M. Gerstacker Foundation.  We will receive a $500 match when you donate at least $500 to the United Way and become a Cornerstone of our community. This can be done individually or with a spouse.  By pledging less than $10 per week, the power of your gift is multiplied, increasing the number of people whose lives are changed.

This opportunity extends to existing Pillars Club members (those who contribute $1,000 or more) who agree to increase their gift by at least 10 percent.
