Remember, when you give to United Way’s LIVE UNITED Fund you are joining forces with others by supporting ALL of these agencies listed above AND you are supporting United Way’s own programs: 24/7 information and referral services through NC 211, our volunteer center, Hands On Asheville-Buncombe, and Community Schools. This is the power of United Way!
While most donors choose to give directly to United Way (the LIVE UNITED Fund), others choose to designate their gift. Designated gifts can go to any 501(c)(3) and we will direct the give to that organization for you. Keep in mind that if you are making a gift of $1,000 or more and would like to be counted as a Leadership Giver, and want to designate, you will need to choose from one of our funded programs.
