Club 52 is a group of donors who gift a minimum of $52 annually, which equates to just $1 a week. A donation of $52 a year can provide: one hour of safety planning and advocacy consultation for 3 families experiencing domestic violence, 7 meals from the Meals-on-Wheels program, or fuel cards for 7 trips to radiation or chemo-therapy treatments for a cancer patient.
Each member of the club receives a Club 52 discount card as a thank you for their investment in the community. The discounts on the card are a collection from local businesses in each of the three counties. United Way of Clark, Champaign & Madison Counties recognized giving levels include: Club 52 ($52 and above), Leadership Givers ($500-$999), Benefactors ($1,000-$2,499), Patron's Circle ($2,500-$4,999) and Founders ($5,000 and up). In the 2018-2019 campaign we had over 1,500 donors fall into these categories!
All donations are automatically directed to the county the donor lives in, but every donor is able to designate their gift to a specific agency or county. Last year's campaign was the first year United Way began accepting opened designations, meaning donors have the opportunity to designate their gift to all qualified non-profits
-- not just the agencies funded by United Way of Clark, Champaign & Madison Counties. Qualified non-profits for designations must have a 501c3, and cannot be a church or political organization.
Donations not directed to specific agencies are collected into three individual funds for each of the three counties. These funds are dispersed to organizations in that county through our grant funding processes. Funded programs are determined by local community members who volunteer for impact committees in the three counties. These volunteers read each grant application and decide which programs best serve the county and how to distribute the funding.
Every gift, no matter the size, makes an impact on our community. Make a gift today through our website at
