Why Sponsor?

For more than 100 years, United Way of the River Cities has brought together local leaders, nonprofit partners and corporate sponsors to connect our community with resources to reduce poverty and improve lives.

Corporate sponsorships offer an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, gain exposure and boost your identity in the community. By partnering with United Way as an event sponsor, you can reinforce your company’s reputation to your customers, employees and community at large.

Together, we will build stronger, more resilient communities!

If your business would like to become a sponsor, please contact our director of resource development, Sarah Short, at sarah.short@unitedwayrivercities.org.
