Join a network of progressive, socially-conscious business leaders and create real impact in our community with the guidance of the United Way.
The Million Dollar Pledge is similar to an investment pool commonly seen in the private sector. The only difference is that our ROI is measured by impact being made to improve the lives of real people in our local community. That’s a Return on Impact we can all get behind.
How it Works
Ten partners each pledge $10K per year for 10 years for a total million-dollar pledge. Pledge partners get together with the counsel of United Way's investment advisors and decide how best to invest. Over time, partners continue to monitor and manage their pledge portfolio to achieve the greatest return on community impact.
Your Turn-Key Corporate Social Responsibility
Million Dollar Pledge companies gain a marketing edge — positioning themselves as the better choice among consumers by demonstrating a genuine commitment to the community they operate in. They build a stronger workforce too: by involving employees in how funds are raised and invested, partners see an edge in attracting and retaining values-based top talent, higher employee satisfaction, and lower absenteeism. A consolidated charitable giving plan also maximizes tax saving benefits for both the company and individual employees.
Most of all, Million Dollar Pledge partners feel good knowing they are making a real difference in the lives of people right here at home, while networking with other business leaders who share common values.
