At United Way Northumberland, we understand that philanthropy is deeply personal. Many donors have specific causes or organizations they wish to support, and we are dedicated to facilitating these preferences through our donor-directed giving program.
What is Donor-Directed Giving?
Donor-directed giving allows individuals to specify particular charities or initiatives to receive their contributions. This approach ensures that your donation directly supports the causes you are most passionate about. While this practice is not exclusive to United Way, it remains a distinctive feature that sets us apart in Northumberland County, providing a convenient and confidential means to channel your generosity.
Supporting Save Our Heritage Organization
Recently, a private donor entrusted us with a contribution, requesting that it be directed to Save Our Heritage organization. This esteemed organization manages both Proctor House Museum and Brighton Barn Theatre in the Proctor-Simpson Barn, playing a crucial role in preserving local heritage in Brighton. Honoring the donor’s wishes, we facilitated the donation, underscoring our commitment to personalized philanthropy.

Navigating the landscape of charitable giving can be complex. At United Way Northumberland, we simplify this process by serving as a trusted intermediary. Whether you wish to support a specific charity or multiple organizations, we ensure that your donations are directed appropriately, handled efficiently, and remain confidential as per your preferences.
