United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley
Sponsorship Opportunities

Sponsorships can enhance a company's philanthropic image and visibility in the community; set you apart from competitors; help develop closer relationships with current and prospective customers; showcase products and services; and help stretch your advertising budgets. United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley’s Sponsorship Program can help your company achieve all of those goals. We will ensure deliverables are met so that your company can feel good about your return on investment.

Our Sponsorship Program is designed to help companies achieve their philanthropic goals while engaging them in our work. Whether you give to the general pool of sponsorship dollars or prefer to choose one or two (or more) specific events, your contribution helps to increase philanthropic visibility for your company and the United Way. We believe firmly in partnership and could not do this work without companies like yours.

Because of generous corporate partners, United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley is able to thank, recognize, inform, and train volunteers and donors without incurring additional expenses.

Interested in sponsoring United Way?
A company can choose to give to the general pool of sponsorship dollars or choose one or two (or more) specific events to support (click here for a list of events/activities).  Make sure your cumulative totals equal one of the below levels and your company will receive the marketing benefits related to those specific event(s) and year-round visibility beginning July 1, 2012.

  • All businesses whose cumulative sponsorship dollars (assessed annually on June 30th) total any of the levels (Community Leader, LIVE UNITED Partner, Benefactor, Pacesetter) will receive the corresponding benefits for an entire year.
