Making metro Atlanta a thriving community for everyone is a shared responsibility that benefits business. United Way is connected to all segments of metro Atlanta’s business community with leaders who care deeply and recognize that their commercial interests, too, are served when communities thrive.

Businesses win when they operate in a community where families are financially stronger and children are properly nurtured and educated. They win in a community that can boast affordable housing, fewer homeless people, and decent health care.

"United Way has its finger on the pulse of our community, directing resources to the greatest and most pressing needs. Supporting United Way is supporting the long-term vitality of the greater Atlanta community." - Brad Branch, managing partner, Deloitte

"As the economy began to weaken, we knew that it was more important than ever to support the communities we serve. So in 2008, we ran our first United Way campaign. The United Way staff and volunteers provided tailored support to Gas South, resulting in a successful first campaign and creating a foundation for the future." - Kevin Greiner, president and CEO, Gas South

"Communities must come together to solve their largest challenges. United Way brings the community together, government, nonprofit and faith-based and corporate groups, to find these solutions. We choose to be part of this collaborative effort, a part of the solution." - John Somerhalder, president and CEO, AGL Resources

"Our United Way campaign grew quickly after seeing the results our donations made possible, establishing our company as a major community supporter. Our clients and colleagues now know we are a community-oriented company that supports large-scale community efforts."
