Join Emerging Leaders and Live United
The Emerging Leaders network is the communal bridge for aspiring philanthropists in Greater Austin providing opportunities to learn, lead, and network as ambassadors for United Way and changemakers in Central Texas.
Why Join?
United Way’s mission and success is amplified when diverse voices lead the way. Be among a group of passionate business and community leaders who are leading the way to create more equitable systems for all Central Texans.
When you join Emerging Leaders, you’ll have opportunities to network and collaborate with a diverse group of influential business and community leaders at exclusive events, all while learning about critical local issues and impactful local solutions.
Your gift makes a difference in the lives of children and families in Central Texas by investing in the building blocks of opportunity that every person and community needs to thrive – education, health, and financial stability.
Join Us
Join with an annual donation of $250 or more or a monthly donation of $21 or more. You will be recognized as a member of Emerging Leaders and have access to member opportunities immediately.
We encourage Emerging Leaders to gradually increase their personal philanthropic gift over four years to reach the Leaders United gift level of $1,000 annually. The Emerging Leaders “Step-Up” program is a commitment to give $250 in year one; $500 in year two; $750 in year three; $1,000 in year four. You will receive invitations to Leaders United events throughout your four-year step-up gift plan.
