On an individual basis, United Way of Summit County research is finding that despite economic uncertainty, returning donors who are giving are increasing their gifts. UWSC President Bob Kulinski said, "Early returns are very encouraging and we are so proud of the sacrificial giving by so many people this year - more than 46% of our first 6,100 donors have actually increased their contribution level from the prior year. In addition, more than 1,700 new donors have pledged so far this year, and their gifts total $202,076."
It is unknown how many donors will be lost at the end of campaign, but UWSC is encouraged by the generosity and caring spirit of their donors who are contributing in difficult times. According to William Lowery, 2009 United Way Campaign Chair, "Almost every one of our workplace campaign leaders have promised to work hard to do at least as well as last year, even though for many of them significant reductions in employment will make that challenging."
Those who are interested in contributing to United Way of Summit County can do so through the organization's website - www.uwsummit.org.
