Your gift helps each of the 15 Partner Agencies, or you can designate your gift to a favorite agency.
All services are provided within Fostoria for the good of the people of Fostoria.
Payroll deduction is available through workplace campaigns. Cash, check, credit card and online giving are other options.
Every donated dollar funds services of the Partner Agencies. An annual foundation distribution supports the campaign and administrative expenses.
Each year the Budget and Admissions Committee carefully reviews financial statements and service records of the Partner Agencies to assure that every donated dollar is used effectively.
For the second year in a row the United Way of Fostoria Campaign broke through $200,000! This year’s campaign even raised $3,500 more than last year.
Lead by Chairwoman Wendy Foss, the campaign not only rocked the goal, three of the five divisions exceeded expectations as well as 16 of the 30 workplace campaigns. As often happens, the two divisions that did exceptionally well last year, struggled a bit with higher expectations this year. Division IV, while not reaching its goal, actually increased its giving over last year.
Leadership gifts are a subdivision found in all five divisions. They are gifts of $500 and more to the annual campaign. This year 87 donors in the leadership category donated gifts of up to $10,000. The leadership subcategory is chaired by Frank Kinn.
A fun new addition to the campaign publicity this year was a two-minute video narrated by Wendy and featuring members of the campaign cabinet.
Every dollar donated to the 2018 campaign is being used to provide services for the people of Fostoria in 2019. Campaign dollars support services of the 15 Partner Agencies including, but not limited to, programs for youth, senior citizens, families in crisis, decent housing, care for persons with dementia, local victims of disasters, assistance for cancer patients, workforce development, public transportation and aid for the neediest in our community.
A great big THANK YOU! to the Campaign Cabinet and the Workplace Campaign Chairs who plan, direct, manage and conduct the campaign. They are wonderful, deeply appreciated friends to United Way.
Gifts of all sizes and all contributions of time, talent and money work together to help friends, neighbors and family members build better lives through the care and services of the United Way Partner Agencies. Together, we are there for each other!
