United Way Women's Legacy

United Way Women's Legacy Welcome to Women's Legacy where women are working together to build stronger, safer communities. Mothers and daughters, sisters and friends are making an impact through United Way and leaving a legacy.

United Way Women's Legacy strives to mobilize women to LIVE UNITED through leadership, advocacy and philanthropy. United Way is working to advance the common good by focusing on education, income, health and homelessness. These are the building blocks for a good life-a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health. This is the type of holistic approach that comes so naturally to women. Women know that effective philanthropy resulting in community change requires a deep desire to make a difference - and a personal commitment to LIVE UNITED.

Women's Legacy members each contribute $1,000 or more annually resulting in a collective contribution of more than $5 million in 2007. Women's Legacy's 3,800 members continue to give, advocate and volunteer on behalf of all women and children in the metro area - and they invite you to do the same.

Now is the time. All new Women's Legacy members' contributions will be matched dollar for dollar by the Coca-Cola Foundation.
