Leadership Giving

LEADERSHIP GIVING SOCIETY

At United Way of Pitt County, we believe the biggest challenges are only solved by living United.
The United Way of Pitt County Leadership Giving Society is our newest opportunity to do so!

Leadership Giving Society members are United Way supporters who have donated more than $500 to United Way’s Community Fund to build stronger communities in Pitt County. Leadership Society members play an essential role in addressing our communities most pressing needs through philanthropy, leadership, and volunteerism. Members come together at networking events with like-minded leaders, gain access to exclusive United Way events, and are presented unique opportunities to help advocate for change in their community.

Here are a few ways your gift can create immediate and lasting impact in our communities.
