Honor a special person while helping those in need
Gift-giving is the time-honored way in which our culture has chosen to acknowledge holidays, special events such as weddings, and the simple passing of time. Whether as a holiday gift to one who already "has everything," whether as a birthday or anniversary recognition of someone dear to us, or whether as simply a way to say "thank-you for just being you," your contribution to Mesa United Way in the name of another can add a depth and quality unequaled by most other gifts.
When you give a gift in honor of another individual, Mesa United Way will arrange an appropriate acknowledgement card. Please call Linda Haskell, Resource Development Director, at 480-834-2108 with any questions.
Getting married and want to suggest a very meaningful gift?
Why not give guests the option of making a gift in your name to Mesa United Way as their wedding gift to you!
Let friends and family contribute directly. If you would like your friends and family to make a donation to your favorite organization as their wedding gift to you, just specify to us which charity you would like the funds to go to or let them choose one in your name from our list of Partner Agencies. We will send a gift card to you showing which agency was chosen and the amount that was donated along with a receipt to your guest for tax purposes.
For more information, please contact Gaye Kelley, Director of Leadership and Planned Giving, at 480-834-2102 or gaye.kelley@mesaunitedway.org
"I liked the fact that we were able to pick an organization that had a lot of importance to us. I recommend this to other couples as a great way to have your friends and families support something meaningful to you, especially if you already have all of the household items you could need."
-Erin and JD, Newlyweds
"Through this program, you get to donate to a cause that matters to you, and give a meaningful gift that impacts people right here in Mesa. It's a great situation for everyone involved."
