YOU PREVENT HOMELESSNESS The United Way of Greater Waterbury's Flexible Assistance Fund has helped over 400 households in crisis avoid homelessness since 2011. LEAVENWORTH SOCIETY The Leavenworth Society of United Way of Greater Waterbury bestows recognition upon those individuals who make especially generous contributions. The Society was founded by United Way in honor of Elisha Leavenworth (1814-1911), a prominent citizen of our local community who believed that human caring is the key to a healthy society. The Society fosters, promotes and recognizes the vital importance of personal giving at an exceptional level. The example set by these extraordinary people, in the spirit expressed by Elisha Leavenworth, will have a major impact on the future health of the Greater Waterbury community. The Leavenworth Society offers its members the opportunity to contribute at five levels of commitment: Diamond Level - $7,500 to $9,999 Platinum Level - $5,000 to $7,499 Gold Level - $2,500 to $4,999 Silver Level - $1,500 to $2,499 Bronze Level - $1,000 to $1,499 For additional information or questions regarding the Leavenworth Society, please contact: Tomeka Cole Chief Development Officer (203) 757-9855 ext. 17 tcole@unitedwaygw.org TOCQUEVILLE SOCIETY The Tocqueville Society Major Gifts and Recognition Program, nationally initiated in March of 1984, is designed to deepen and strengthen the understanding, commitment and support of high wealth individuals to their local United Ways.
