Unique Apart, United Together

The Peaks Society is a powerful group of local prominent residents who commit their time and resources to co-creating an inclusive community where everyone belongs and everyone thrives. The Peaks Society serves as a conduit for its members to learn about issues facing students, families, and communities, and to become a catalyst for positive change by developing solutions that address these issues.

Designed to recognize community members who invest $1,000 or more annually, The Peaks Society comprises United Way's largest single donor base and is the driving force behind much of our work.
