Be the Difference.  Be Someone's Hero Today!

Like the ripples spreading out over the water from a skipping stone, the donations you give today can make a difference, improving lives far across Becker County. You can be the difference—from a child going without supper to having meals for the weekend. You could be the difference—for someone struggling with mental illness, by providing funding for
A Place to Belong.
Unlike some non-profits, 92% of our donations received are kept in Becker County and distributed to our partner agencies. We operate under less than an 8% administration cost,
putting more of your money in the hands of those who need it.
Have you ever thought of yourself as a hero? You can be the difference. Just make a donation or volunteer your time to the United Way of Becker County. Be the one to make
a difference. Be someone’s hero today.

 UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN TOOLKIT
Contributions by community businesses and employees to our annual employee payroll campaign is what helps United Way of Becker County support the agencies and organizations listed on this page. Each fall, volunteers visit the local business community to share campaign information and get people excited about Living United.

If you are a business that would like to have an impact on the lives of many living in our communities, please contact us and we will be happy to meet with you.

If you are a business that already participates in our annual employee payroll campaign and you are looking for resources to make this year's campaign a big hit with your employees, check out these fun flyers! You are welcome to make use of the art files to create your own posters, flyers, web, and social media promotions. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to get involved, so if there is anything else we can provide to assist you please let us know!​
