Our Donors
What do you cherish most about our community? Our southern hospitality, great food, traditions rooted in football or relaxing at the Gulf Coast? For us, it is our donors. It is your generosity and your faithfulness in helping our neighbors. Thank you for your commitment to give, advocate and volunteer. No matter how much you give, thank you. Without your generous support, both of time and money, we would not be the one of the largest United Ways in the country. For the past 19 years, United Way of Central Alabama has received the highest rating of four stars from Charity Navigator, an organization which monitors the accountability of charities. Be assured your contributions are making a difference in the lives of our neighbors.
