Leadership Giving Circle

A gift exchanging hands

We seek to improve and transform lives in Denton County and we make progress every day, because of you. Your gift of time, talent, and treasure matters in the lives of thousands of people in our community.

Established to recognize individuals and couples who donate $1,000 or more, the Leadership Giving Circle plays a significant role in the success of our United Way Campaign which, in turn, creates change for neighbors in need across Denton County.
