United Way Reminder
Dear Friends of Greater Norristown PAL,
Fall means many things to different people. The start of school, a new football season, baseball
playoffs or raking all of those leaves are just a few ways that we mark the new season. In the world of
non-profit organizations, it also marks the beginning of the annual United Way campaign.
The United Way serves area non-profit groups by coordinating fundraising campaigns that reach out
directly to employees in thousands of area businesses. The funds are then allocated to member
agencies through an application process.
If you are participating in your employer’s United Way campaign, you may want to take advantage of the
Donor Choice program. Donor Choice allows you to designate your UW gift directly to the agency of
your choice rather than into a general pool of funds. Undesignated funds are sent to agencies all over
Southeastern PA. Donor designated funds go right where you want them and directly impact the
community that you care about. The program also allows you to have your gift deducted from your
paychecks in small increments, thus lessening the impact on your personal budget.
I encourage all of you to participate in your company’s UW campaign and to designate your gift to
Greater Norristown PAL. Our donor designation code is 12709. If you have any questions, please
contact me at 610-278-8040 or brett.wells@norristownpal.org. Thank you for supporting GNPAL.
Sincerely,

GNPAL Operations Director |
