Women's Leadership Giving

---

What is the Women's Leadership Council? Women’s Leadership Council is a unique committee within Butler County United Way dedicated to “Investing in our Children”.   As women, mothers and business leaders working and living in Butler County we see an added need to secure the future of our youth.  We support, advocate and volunteer to improve their lives.  What We Want Our focus has changed as the needs of our communities have changed.  Today we help support the Backpack Program.   Our dollars feed children over the weekend that would otherwise go hungry.  As federal programs are being elevated on a national level, the Women’s Leadership Council needs to be prepared to alter not only how we raise money but who we are going to support.  Yes, we need your financial support, but we want more.  We want your voice to be heard and the opportunity to spend time with our youth.  Giving back to our community comes in various ways and all are important.   How We Work The Women’s Leadership Council – Investing in Children has restructured.  Contributing at the national Leadership level of $1,000.00 a year gives you the privilege to vote on which Butler County youth agency you feel needs our support.  To some, this a small price to pay to be involved, while to others this is not feasible.  The board of the Women’s Leadership Council does not want to discriminate and exclude women who want to be a part of something bigger.  Therefore, up to four people can collaborate to make one vote.  In March 2011 our district meeting will be held so all the women can hear up to four selected agencies explain why the additional funding from the “Women’s Leadership Council” will make their agency more successful in serving our youth.  Your vote will determine who receives this lump sum of money.  100% of our dollars will go to the designated agency we collectively feel will benefit.  Can you think of a better way to support our youth?  And yes, every community, every school, every district in Butler County has children at risk.    GIVE.  To place your pledge online, click here to go to our safe, secure epledge system.  Login if you have an existing account or click "Register" to create one.  After you've logged in: Click "My Contributions" on the Main Menu.
