Perseverance & Positivity

Every Friday during COVID-19, United Charitable celebrates its Perseverance and Positivity campaign to highlight the charitable good happening within our organization. We're honored to work with both Charitable Giving through our Donor Advised Funds and Charitable Doing through our Fiscally Sponsored Programs!
Our campaign of Perseverance relates to our amazing fiscally sponsored programs that are shifting and adapting to keep their missions active.
Our campaign ofPositivityhighlights all the Donor Advised Funds that are jumping into action to support all forms of COVID-19 relief and their community organizations.
Supply Love is a new fiscally sponsored program of United Charitable. Their program began as friends making masks and collecting supplies to help local hospitals and First Responders. Within days, they saw first hand just how great the need truly was. Community members were desperate to help, but didn’t know how. Community organizations needed supplies but didn’t know who to ask for help. So the volunteers at Supply Love stepped forward to help bridge the gap.
Less than a month later, a team of over 50 volunteers made, collected, and donated over 2,000 masks, 15,000 gloves, gallons of hand sanitizer, and countless cleaning supplies to several local organizations and facilities. Supply Lovequickly responded to a need presented by the COVID-19 virus and has maintained their Perseverance and Positivity ever since!
Supply Loveswiftly embarked on their mission by searching in their DC Metro community for an organization that could help them achieve their goal. They applied and were accepted as a fiscally sponsored program of United Charitable in record time! Now they are working diligently to help their community.
Donor Advised Funds support our theme of positivity. They are charitable vehicles that are ready to help now!
A United Charitable Donor Advised Fund, The Medow & Kudla Family Foundation, is doing just that. With their generous donations to their local community food bank, Gleaners, in Michigan, they are doing their part to help in the fight against food scarcity, especially during COVID-19.
During COVID-19 "I am staying sane by taking daily walks/hikes in my neighborhood with my hiking buddy and Chief Moral Officer for Hike for Life: Sadie.
Sadie and I stay close to home and we follow social distancing rules in compliance with Colorado’s safer at home order. When someone wants to pet Sadie I wear a mask to help protect them. We are also sharing tips for safe hiking during Coronavirus through the video on our program's home page. It is getting lots of attention and hopefully helping others to stay safe."
