Give to United Way of Mason County

When you make an undesignated donation to United Way of Mason County, your gift joins gifts from other caring people in our community. It is invested in financial stability, healthy lifestyles and children reaching their potential - the basic things that we all need for a good life.

Your gift is treated with care by our fund distribution volunteers. They spend many hours reviewing programs, analyzing budgets and determining the success of a program before making a decision on how much that program is awarded through our allocations process. Partner programs meet strict guidelines and must prove to volunteers exactly how they improve lives.

Giving is a personal decision. United Way will honor donor designations intended for health and human services nonprofit organizations that are located in Mason County or other United Way organizations. United Way receives a 9% administrative fee for processing donor designations to non-profit organizations (an administrative fee is not charged when designating to another United Way organization.) In addition, we deduct 5% to cover the cost of uncollected pledges. We ask that your designations be made in increments of $30 or more.
