Your Voice and Unique Perspective Can Help Us Make a Greater Impact!

HELPING PEOPLE NOW … REDUCING FUTURE NEED

Through its Community Impact Model, United Way of the Lowcountry is addressing the needs of today, while diligently working to get to the root causes of key issues. With the community’s support, we are focusing on four priority areas: Basic Needs, Education and Economic Mobility. Our impact and success each year is based on outcomes.

Together, we are making a difference! United Way of the Lowcountry depends on our donors to help make important funding decisions by volunteering to serve on the United Way’s Community Impact Committee. These volunteers help determine how undesignated United Way Annual Campaign donations will be distributed to local agencies and services throughout Beaufort and Jasper Counties to make a lasting impact.

WHO CAN SERVE ON THE COMMUNITY IMPACT COMMITTEE?
The GREAT thing about this process is that we use a scorecard that does the “heavy lifting,” so no experience is needed to participate! If you donate to United Way of the Lowcountry, you can serve on the Community Impact Committee and help determine what programs will provide our community with the greatest impact.

WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT?
It only takes about two days total to help make a lasting impact. The first step is an in-person two hour training session. There are three different options to attend:

• Tuesday, Oct. 1 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in-person
• Thursday, Oct. 3 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in-person
• Wednesday, Oct. 9 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in-person
