Leadership Giving Programs Leadership giving begins at $1,200 (or $100 a month) and is critical to United Way’s ability to meet our community’s ongoing needs. Last year, more than 4,000 people chose to lead by example with a leadership contribution to United Way of Greater Milwaukee. Leadership giving consists of the following four programs. Individuals may be part of one or multiple programs. The LEADERSHIP SOCIETY includes donors who contribute $1,200 to $9,999 to the annual United Way of Greater Milwaukee Community Campaign. The TOCQUEVILLE SOCIETY is named in honor of 19th century French political philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville. Members contribute $10,000 or more, with at least $6,000 directed to United Way and its core program areas (rather than designated to specific agencies). See more detailed membership criteria when you click here. The WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP PROGRAM provides recognition and connection opportunities for women. Members are women who contribute at least $1,200 individually or who are partners in a joint gift of $2,400 or more. Women’s Leadership Program members encourage giving to its signature project, Healthy Girls, which supports programs that work to reduce the local teen pregnancy rate. Thank you to Aurora Health Care for its support of the Women’s Initiative and Healthy Girls. The EMERGING LEADER program educates and involves a new generation of United Way leadership contributors (recommended for donors age 45 and under). Members contribute $1,200 or more and opt into the program. Opt in to join when you pledge.
