2025 Matching Gift Challenge

Graphic of shaking hands

At United Way of Portage County, we're on a mission to nite people with resources to improve the quality of life of families and individuals in Portage County.

While we face challenges, we know that, together, we can overcome them. Your donation to United Way of Portage County will be instrumental in funding programs that make a tangible difference in three critical areas: youth education, critical needs, and  public health.

Today, through the end of June, every donation you make has an increased impact. Two generous anonymous donors have pledged $15,000 if United Way of Portage County can raise $30,000. 

Here's how your contribution can make an impact:

  • Youth Education: Every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of their background or circumstances. With your support, we can provide resources and support to students, ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed academically and beyond.
  • Critical Needs: In times of crisis, it's essential to have a safety net for those facing hardship. Your donation will help provide essential services like food assistance, shelter, and emergency relief to individuals and families in need, ensuring that no one is left behind.
  • Public Health: Health is the foundation of a thriving community. By supporting public health initiatives, we can improve access to healthcare, promote wellness and mental health programs, and address pressing health concerns, creating a healthier and more resilient Portage County for all.

But we can't do it alone. We need your help to make a lasting impact in Portage County. Your donation, no matter the size, will directly contribute to building a stronger, more vibrant community for generations to come.

Join us in creating a brighter future for Portage County. Donate and be a part of something truly transformative. Together, we can make a difference!
