FOUNDATION

Currently, the United Way of South Sarasota County funds programs provided by 29 agencies. As our community grows, so will the need for additional funded programs. The United Way supports programs that directly touch, change, and improve lives by serving the needs of a child, family, or senior living within our community. As the fund grows, so does the ability to support more programs and to financially address the critical needs of our community. Geographically, all programs assist those who live in Venice, Englewood, North Port, Laurel, Osprey, and Nokomis. In 2014, over 63,000 residents were helped out in their time of need.

By donating through the foundation fund, your legacy of giving will be maintained perpetually and every year will play a vital role in maximizing the delivery of social service programs that address the needs of our community.

Talk to us to see how you and your estate can perpetually play an important role in growing, supporting, and maintaining our “United Way Utopia.”
