United Way supporters attend an event to raise funds to assist people in the Anchorage area.

Significantly improve lives by donating $1,000+ annually.

Think about it: Donating $3 a day seems doable, right? Over time, it adds up to make a big difference toward solving our community’s toughest challenges. Your gift at this amount could help a family stay housed. For about $20 a week, you’ll contribute to positive change in Alaska and be recognized as a Leadership Donor. Our community depends on people like you committing to help make people’s lives better.


Leadership Donors lead the way for stronger, more resilient Alaska communities.


Generous Alaskans' donations add up to real impact!

Use United Way's Donation Impact Calculator to see how we've been putting our supporters' gifts to work across our community. Thanks to our donors and partners, we're involved in many efforts that further Financial Security, Healthy Community, and Youth Opportunity—and our program, Alaska 211, connects people across our state to them and more. Select from the options below to see how people invest in United Way and how donations help Alaskans' thrive!

How much is the gift?
How often is it given?

Most of United Way’s donors are in the Leadership Donors giving group, which includes anyone who donates $1,000 or more annually. When you become part of our Leadership Donors, you join thousands of Alaskans who are creating lasting, positive change in our communities and people’s lives.

Community Stewardship

Being a Leadership Donor empowers you to connect and collaborate with community-minded people who are working to address Alaska’s pressing challenges. Together, you invest in long-term solutions with measurable impacts.

Shared Responsibility

Barriers in our community belong to all of us, and meaningful progress overcoming them requires collective action. United Way knows that everyone’s giving journey evolves uniquely. We’re grateful with how you chose to participate.

Giving Levels

Many United Way donors start with a one-time gift during a workplace campaign. Soon, they see evidence of their donations at work in our community and opt to make annual donations. Your commitment is unique, and we respect and appreciate your support.
