Contribution
Through the
United Way?
If you are wondering the answer to this
question, you have come to the right place. First off, United Way is a one
stop multi purpose organization. Which in simpler terms means that United
Way for South Louisiana raises funds for other agencies as well as itself.
If you want to donate money straight to United Way for
South Louisiana you can do this in many ways:
-
Enroll in Payroll Deductions through
your Employer
(If your employer does not have payroll deduction set up -contact United Way for South Louisiana at 985-879-2461 or contact
Lonnie
Easley.)
-
Write a check and mail it to the
United Way office
(click for contact
information)
If you want to donate to Another
United Way (maybe you are working in a different area
than you live and you want to donate back to your local United Way Agency):
-
Enroll through payroll deductions with
the local United Way and designate these funds back to the United Way of
your choice. (If your company
has a payroll deduction system set up then United Way for South Louisiana
will get your money to the United Way that you request.)
-
If your company does a United Way
Campaign you can donate an employee gift that is NOT a payroll deduction
(cash or check) and have it sent to the United Way of your choice.
If you want to donate to Another Non-Profit
Agency (must have a 501(c)(3) tax exempt status):
-
When participating in a United Way
Campaign, you have the opportunity to send your donation to any non-profit
agency all over the country if that agency holds a 501(c)(3) status. (United
Way for South Louisiana would need their name and updated address in order
to deliver your donation to the correct organization.)
THROUGH
UNITED WAY YOU HAVE THE UTILITIES TO SEND YOUR DONATIONS TO ANY ELIGIBLE AGENCY
THAT YOU REQUEST. UNITED WAY FOR SOUTH LOUISIANA FUNDS
