Why should you give to the United Way of Grays Harbor?

Why should I donate to the United Way? There are so many incentives to donate to the United Way of Grays Harbor. Here are a few that, hopefully, will help you decide to donate to our organization.

We're effective & efficient... We strive to get the most out of every dollar you contribute to fund programs that make a difference, 85.5 cents of every dollar goes to our 24 partner agencies.

We're accountable... Volunteers from diverse personal and business backgrounds assess the needs in our community, distribute the dollars the United Way raises and monitors annually how well those programs are using your donations to solve local problems and serve human needs in our community.

We're local... The money raised in Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties stays in Grays Harbor and Pacific County helping to meet the needs RIGHT HERE in our communities.

Tax breaks… Every April we are reminded of how much money we pay the government. But if you make a donation you will be giving money that would otherwise be going to the government into the hands of people who need it a lot more.

Giving back… Have you always been as successful as you are now? Or was there a time when an organization was there for you? That sounds like a great way of living out your decision to donate. Many of us have had times when things were not going well. If a charitable organization was there for you, donate to the United Way by giving back to them. You can designate your dollar on the donation form to that agency, then, when you donate you return the favor once paid to you.

In Memory of a loved one… Sometimes the best way to ease the pain of the loss of a loved one is to carry on their legacy with causes that mattered to them. If you donate in their name you create a living tribute to their ideals. Suddenly your decision to donate takes on a whole new meaning.

Common Goal… Think of the things that matter to you. When you donate it should stand for ideals that matter to you. Then, you and the United Way are working toward a common goal. When you donate people get helped. Donate and become a helper to those who need it most.

Donating or being of service to those who are less fortunate of yours should come from the goodness of your heart and should never be something you need to be forced into. If you want to help, lend a hand by donating funds to the United Way of Grays Harbor.
