GIVE HOPE. CHANGE LIVES.
UNITED WAY IS WORKING TO ADVANCE THE COMMON GOOD by focusing on the root causes of our community’s problems. We want to support 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.
United Way of Blount County’s 2024 Most Generous Workplaces is determined by a company’s philanthropic contributions to United Way during the previous fiscal year. Combined, the top 50 organizations and their employees generously invested to help our local community through United Way of Blount County-supported programs in the areas of health, education and self-sufficiency.

Planned Giving
Thank you for your interest in the United Way. Our hope is to serve you and your family with helpful information. We have an increasing number of friends at the United Way who now are benefiting from life income gifts, gift annuities and other plans. Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of gift planning. United Way of Blount County is currently structuring several vehicles for planned giving with something for everyone. When speaking to your financial advisor, there are already several options for making a lasting gift to United Way:
UNITED WAY OF BLOUNT COUNTY
COMMUNITY IMPACT FUND
Gifts to this fund are distributed yearly to social service programs benefiting Blount County. Local volunteers annually research and audit the programs to determine that donor funds are being used responsibly.
UNITED WAY OF BLOUNT
COUNTY FUTURE FUND
Gifts made to this fund grow over time, while utilizing the interest to continue the work of United Way of Blount County.
Leadership Giving
United Way of Blount County recognizes individuals and households who make gifts of $1,000 or more to United Way of Blount County. These are local philanthropic leaders and volunteer champions who have devoted time, talent, and funds to create long-lasting changes by tackling the most serious issues of our community:

Campaign Toolkit
Welcome to our Online Campaign Toolkit. Approximately 200 local companies and organizations hold workplace campaigns annually. Workplace campaigns enable employers and employees to receive valuable information about the needs being addressed in our community, to have the opportunity to positively affect lives, and to contribute to UWBC through the convenience of payroll deductions.
Included in this section is information on the campaign elements included in the printed Campaign Guide. All of these files are printable. Most are Adobe PDF files. To read and print these files, you will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer. If you don’t have it, you may download it free at the Adobe Acrobat Reader Download Site.
If you would like to contribute to our campaign, but are unsure whether your employer participates in workplace giving, please give us a call at (865) 982-2251.
