Introducing
The United Way of Deschutes County’s
Corporate Cornerstone Program
Corporate Leadership: Helping Shape
Our Future
At United Way we believe the power of corporate
philanthropy is about building strong productive communities — communities
in which every individual has the means to live, the opportunity to learn,
and the chance to give back. Any one of these essentials is enough to make a
difference in the present, but it takes all three to set in motion an
enduring cycle of health and prosperity for the future.
Leading the Way to Change
The United Way of Deschutes County’s Corporate Cornerstone
Program is a meaningful response to United Way’s ongoing efforts to
recognize its corporate supporters for their generosity and civic
engagement.
The Corporate Cornerstone Program allows corporations, foundations and small
businesses the opportunity to direct their annual gift toward underwriting
United Way of Deschutes County’s operating costs and provide individual
donors the opportunity to maximize their contribution to programs that help
change lives in our community.
Moving Toward the
100% Promise
The Corporate Cornerstone
program is in its infancy, and the United Way’s operating costs
are not yet entirely covered by these donations. To date
more than half of our annual operating costs are
underwritten through the generous support of the companies
listed here. Our administrative expense as a percentage of
campaign donations will continue to decline as we actively
promote the program to other members of the business
community. Soon, and with your help, the United Way of Deschutes
County will be able to say to individual donors “100% of
your gift will go directly to help people in our community.”
Right now we're at 94%.
