The Indiana Association of United Ways and the Lilly Endowment have generously provided $100,000 to match any new or increased individual gift range from $50 to $500. This is an excellent opportunity to double the impact of contributions during the 2011 Campaign.
Every Dollar Makes An Impact
The United Way of Delaware County is doing what no single organization can do on its own. They are proving that TOGETHER we can make meaningful, measurable, REAL SOLUTIONS for REAL PEOPLE. This is how we LIVE UNITED. You are invited to Live United by contributing to United Way of Delaware County's 2011 Campaign. The need is greater than ever and Ball State Employees can meet the 2011 Challenge Grant with as little as a $4.25 a month pledge. Please take a moment to consider making your pledge through a per pay payroll deduction.
United Way of Delaware County is focusing resources on the building blocks for a better life: Education, Income and Health. Your participation in the 2011 Campaign will help provide program services that address immediate basic needs, such as food and shelter to REAL PEOPLE and provide the REAL SOLUTIONS for individuals and families to become more self-sufficient.
Did you know that ...
22% of Delaware County residents do not have health insurance.
Your minimum gift of $5/week can help to continue to ensure that youth are healthy and avoid risky behaviors, caregivers are supported and able to remain in the workplace, and provide health care coverage and preventative care.
Nearly 22% of all Indiana families are asset poor.
Your minimum gift of $10/week can help meet our community goals of increasing income, building savings, and gaining and sustaining assets for families in Delaware County.
More than 40% of young people ages 8-21 say they want more adults in their lives who they can depend on for help.
Your minimum gift of $15/week can help to continue to ensure that children enter school ready to succeed, children achieve academic goals and youth are productive and engaged citizens.
This year, the $100,000 challenge grant can make a tremendous difference, but it will take everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future. We all win when children succeed in school, neighborhoods get turned around, families have good health and everyone has a solid job.
