WELCOME, FUNDED PARTNER AGENCIES!
We’re excited that together we’re working to strengthen the quality of life for our neighbors in Beaufort and Jasper counties.
The partnership between United Way and its funded partners can have powerful marketing and fundraising benefits for all of us. By actively co-branding with United Way, your visible support, and the visible support of your board and staff members, will heighten our community’s awareness and positive perception of United Way of the Lowcountry, and increase the power and reach of our network of local nonprofits.
As part of the United Way of the Lowcountry’s Grantee Memorandum of Agreement, your nonprofit has agreed to follow a set of branding guidelines (click here).
Our Funded Partner Toolkit is your one-stop-shop to assist you in meeting those guidelines. Below you will find co-branding requirements and tips as well as collateral pieces and videos that may be helpful in your marketing efforts.
