Leadership Givers set the standard for supporting Mesa United Way

Leadership giving is a term Mesa United Way uses for recognizing donors who contribute $500 or more annually to the campaign.

Leadership Givers set the standard for charitable giving, and motivate, by example, those who have the potential to increase their level of commitment. For $10 a week or more, a donor is listed in the annual leadership giving society directory and invited to a special Leadership event:  Leader Quote

  

          The Patrons Circle    $500 to $999 
          The Heritage Circle   $1,000 to $2,499
          The Roundtable    $2,500 to $4,999
          The Benefactors   $5,000 to $9,999
          Alexis de Tocqueville Society   $10,000 or more

  

  

How do I conduct a Leadership Giving Campaign?

Ask your CEO to serve as the leadership giving chair. He or she should participate at that level of giving.

Work with the payroll department to determine who to target for your leadership giving campaign by salary range, management level or donors who may already be close to that level of giving or were giving at Leadership Levels last year.

Ask the CEO to host a breakfast or other meeting to kick off your leadership giving campaign prior to your employee campaign.

Send personal invitations from your CEO to the potential leadership givers. Create an agenda that follows the sample meeting agenda as shown in the Employe campaign Leader Manual.
